简要总结
This study was conducted to examine the effects of exercise programs on the physical and psychosocial health of postmenopausal women. The postmenopausal period is characterized by an increased risk of problems such as decreased muscle strength, balance problems, fatigue, stress, and reduced quality of life due to hormonal changes. Therefore, appropriate exercise approaches are crucial during this period.
The study evaluated the effects of regular and planned exercise programs on the physical functions and overall well-being of postmenopausal women.
The study also addressed structured exercise approaches such as high-intensity functional training (HIFT). HIFT consists of short but intense exercises similar to daily activities. However, such exercises should be planned and monitored by healthcare professionals according to the individual's age and health status.
详细描述
Menopause is a natural process that occurs with the end of a woman's reproductive years, and due to hormonal changes, many physiological, psychological, and functional symptoms are observed. During this period, decreased estrogen levels are associated with sleep disturbances, vasomotor symptoms, fatigue, depressive mood, musculoskeletal complaints, and a significant decrease in quality of life. Exercise is one of the most effective, low-cost, and safe methods to alleviate menopausal symptoms and improve functionality. However, studies investigating the effects of HIFT on menopausal symptoms, physical performance, and dual-task performance in postmenopausal women are quite limited.

结局指标
主要结局
short physical performance battery
时间窗: 8 weeks
Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) is a brief and standardized test battery used to assess lower-extremity physical performance, particularly in older adults. The test evaluates three main functional components: balance, gait speed, and chair-stand performance. Each subtest is scored between 0 and 4 points, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 12. Higher scores indicate better physical performance. The SPPB is widely used in clinical research and geriatric assessments to determine functional capacity, risk of falls, and level of physical independence.
次要结局
- Dual task performance(8 weeks)
