Summary

This study tests whether 10 weeks of Pilates exercises can improve lung function and quality of life in postmenopausal women aged 50-60 who have normal body weight and breathing difficulties. Participants will do Pilates five times a week, with follow-up after the program ends. The goal is to see if this low-impact exercise offers a safe, non-drug way to support respiratory health during menopause.
