Summary
"This trial aims to show how circuit strength training can help improve the physical and emotional well-being of postmenopausal women."
Who is the study for?
This trial is for sedentary postmenopausal women aged 50-75 who haven't done structured exercise in the last six months. They must be physically able to do exercises and not take certain medications or have health conditions that would make exercising unsafe.
What is being tested?
The study is testing how short-term circuit training affects muscle mass and quality of life in these women compared to no exercise at all. It aims to provide evidence on whether this type of workout can improve their physical and mental well-being.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves exercise, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, or injury if not performed correctly. However, proper supervision during the study should minimize risks.
