The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of regular Turkish regional dances, in addition to conventional exercises given with a home program, on the quality of life, balance, aerobic capacity, bone mineral density (femoral neck, total and lumbar L1-4 and L2-4 T scores) and bone turnover markers (Type 1 collagen C-telopeptide \[CTX-1\] and Serum Procollagen 1 N-terminal peptide \[P1NP\]) of postmenopausal osteopenic women aged 50-60 years. Our study also aims to evaluate the compliance of patients to the exercise programs given to postmenopausal osteopenic women.
