简要总结
This study will investigate the effect of 10-weeks Pilates exercise on pulmonary function and quality of life in postmenopausal women with normal Body mass index
详细描述
This study is significant because it explores a safe, low-impact, and accessible exercise method that may improve respiratory function and overall quality of life in postmenopausal women. Pilates emphasizes breathing, core strength, and controlled movements, which may be particularly beneficial for women experiencing age-related declines in lung function and physical well-being. The findings can support evidence-based exercise recommendations, promote non-pharmacological interventions, and contribute to improving the health and daily functioning of postmenopausal women.
