NCT ID NCT07377383
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing a 20-week exercise program that combines endurance and resistance training in postmenopausal women with or without high blood pressure. Researchers want to see which mix of exercises best improves heart health, body composition, and quality of life. Sixty physically active women will participate, and the results could help tailor exercise recommendations for this group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Concurrent training program (endurance and resistance exercise)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a specific combination of endurance and resistance exercise is best for improving heart health and well-being in postmenopausal women.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants. Results may not apply to all postmenopausal women, and the benefits may be modest.
