What I liked about the article

I was able to use the passwords and it worked. What was interesting to me was the mention of possible reduction of inflammation and why:

Changes in these bone markers were correlated with growth factors and cytokines. These correlations provide a biologic rationale for the positive effect of TCC on bone health, possibly through a reduction in inflammation, hence promoting bone formation. High-impact exercises such as weight-lifting, running, and jumping help preserve bone health but might not be suitable for cancer patients. Conversely, TCC is a low-impact exercise that uses slow, circular, fluid motions that are ideal for maintaining bone health in patients receiving treatment for breast cancer.
