Summary
"This trial aims to test whether a strength training program using resistance bands, and supported by experts, is feasible and acceptable for menopausal women who may face barriers to regular exercise. The goal is to
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women going through menopause who are interested in an at-home strength training program. Participants should be willing to train regularly and have no prior regular strength training routine. Specific eligibility details aren't provided, but typically participants must be healthy enough for physical activity.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new home-based resistance training program designed specifically for menopausal women. It uses bands and expert guidance to help overcome common barriers like time constraints, safety concerns, and lack of knowledge about exercises.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves physical exercise, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, or injury if exercises are not performed correctly. Expert support aims to minimize these risks.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Single Session Resistance Training: Stronger SessionsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Home-based strength training exercises would be broken up into 3 weekly sessions throughout the week.
Group II: Shorter Resistance Training: Stronger SnacksExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Home-based strength training exercises would be broken up into shorter segments throughout the day or week (e.g. a "snack" might be 3 sets of body-weight or band-based squats).
