Splash your way to strength: water burpees tested for Post-Thyroid recovery
NCT ID NCT07052279
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether doing burpee exercises in water can help postmenopausal women who had their thyroid removed improve their physical function and lung capacity. Forty women aged around 54 will do either water burpees or traditional aerobic exercises for several weeks. Researchers will measure breathing, chest movement, and mobility to see if the water-based approach offers extra benefits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- water-based burpee exercises
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, low-impact exercise to help postmenopausal women recover strength and lung function after thyroid surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply widely. The exercise is generally safe, but benefits may be modest.
