First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares the effects of Pilates exercises versus intermittent fasting on physical and metabolic aging in obese perimenopausal women. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups: a Pilates exercise program or a 16:8 intermittent fasting diet. The researchers will measure changes in body weight, body mass index, waist and hip circumference, heart rate, and oxygen consumption to see which approach improves aging markers more.
