Online pep talk boosts activity in menopausal working women, early study suggests
NCT ID NCT06821841
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a short online program, using motivational interviewing, could help peri- and post-menopausal women who work full-time become more physically active. Twenty-two women took part and were randomly assigned to either the online group or a control group. The main goal was to see if the program was practical and well-liked, and to get early hints about whether it might increase activity levels.
