Summary

This study looks at whether a short-term circuit strength training program can help sedentary postmenopausal women improve muscle mass, balance, quality of life, and sleep, while also reducing inflammation. Researchers will enroll 46 women aged 50 to 75 who have not exercised regularly in the past six months. Participants will follow a progressive high-intensity workout routine over several weeks, and outcomes will be measured through blood tests and questionnaires.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
circuit strength training exercise program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple, short-term exercise program helps postmenopausal women feel stronger, sleep better, and reduce inflammation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 46 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The exercise is high-intensity, which could be challenging or cause injury for some.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Females aged between 50 and 75 years. * Self-reported postmenopausal status (i.e., cessation of menstruation for a minimum of 12 months). * Physically capable of participating in an exercise intervention. * No engagement in structured resistance or aerobic training programs in the six months preceding the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Classification as moderate and highly active on the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (600-3000 MET-minutes/week for "moderate" and higher than 3000 MET-minutes/week for "high" score) * Diagnosis of any health condition that constitutes a contraindication to physical exercise (e.g., significant cardiovascular disease, orthopedic or neuromuscular restrictions impacting exercise performance or safety). * Regular use of medication with the potential to affect study outcomes (e.g., corticosteroids, immunosuppressants).
