Biography

Professor Ziebart's current research program uses exercise to reduce the risk of fractures and rehabilitate fractures in people with osteoporosis, aiming to decrease the risk of developing osteoporosis.

Her plans are oriented towards improving the quality and quantity of life for people living with osteoporosis.
