This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After menopause, women's bones naturally become thinner and weaker because of dropping estrogen levels. This trial is testing whether a combination of vitamin D3 supplements and circuit weight training exercises can help rebuild bone strength in postmenopausal women. Researchers want to see if exercise, combined with the medication, works better than vitamin D alone.
Bone loss accelerates after menopause and increases the risk of fractures, especially in the hip, spine, and wrist. While vitamin D helps with bone health, doctors want to know if adding structured exercise to this treatment can do an even better job of protecting women's bones.

You will be randomly placed into one of two groups. Both groups will receive daily vitamin D3 supplements for 6 weeks. If you are in the exercise group, you will also attend circuit weight training sessions three times per week for about 50 to 60 minutes each session, over the same 6-week period. Your bone density will be measured before and after to see if the treatment worked.
