This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looked at whether different types of exercise—aerobic, resistance, or a mix—can reduce the risk of hardening of the arteries in postmenopausal women who don't exercise. 113 women participated, and researchers measured changes in blood vessel health and blood pressure. The goal is to find a simple, effective way to improve heart health without medication.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
exercise (aerobic, resistance, or combined)
What this could lead to
If effective, these exercise programs could offer a simple, drug-free way to lower heart disease risk in postmenopausal women.
What could go wrong
This is a completed, moderate-sized study, but results may not apply to all women. Exercise benefits depend on consistency and individual health.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants have been postmenopausal for more than 12 months and have not received any exogenous estrogen supplementation after menopause. * Participants were screened using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-S), with a physical activity level classified as "low." They must not have engaged in moderate-intensity physical activity for at least 3 days per week, with a duration of no less than 30 minutes per day, for over 3 consecutive months. * Participants were screened using the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire+ (PAR-Q+) and be deemed safe to undergo further intervention. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with acute or chronic musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, or similar conditions. * Participants with abnormal blood pressure: resting systolic blood pressure \>140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \>90 mmHg, or those taking antihypertensive medications. * Participants with abnormally high arterial stiffness (within pathological range): brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) \>1800 cm/s. * Participants recently taken medications that may affect blood indicators, such as hormones or anti-inflammatory drugs. * Participants with unstable body weight in the past 3 months (fluctuation greater than ±2.5 kg). * Participants currently participating in other intervention studies or those with regular exercise habits in daily life. * Participants who smoke or consume alcohol regularly.
