Physical Activity and Quality of Life in Postmenopausal Women
Impact of a Physical Activity Program on Body Composition, Strength, and Quality of Life in Postmenopausal Women
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Jul 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of a combined aerobic and muscle-strengthening training program on body composition, physical fitness, and quality of life in overweight or obese postmenopausal women. The main question it aims to answer is: Does this training modality improve body composition, enhance physical fitness, and increase quality of life in this population ? Researchers will compare outcomes between an experimental group following the training protocol and a control group with no training intervention, in order to determine whether the program leads to measurable improvements in these parameters. Participants in the training group will engage in aerobic exercise at 50-70% of heart rate reserve (HRR) and strength training at 60-70% of one-repetition maximum (1-RM), three times per week for 8 months. Participants in the control group will not engage in any structured physical training and will be asked to maintain their usual daily routines.
