About

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different exercise methods in improving health outcomes for postmenopausal women. As women go through menopause, they may experience changes such as decreased bone density, muscle weakness, and an increased risk of chronic diseases. Exercise is known to be beneficial in reducing these risks, but the best approach remains unclear.

In this clinical trial, participants will engage in structured exercise programs designed to improve bone health, strength, and overall well-being. The study will compare different types of exercises to determine which method provides the most benefits. By participating in this research, postmenopausal women can contribute to a better understanding of how exercise can enhance health during this stage of life.

This study is safe, and all exercises are guided by professionals. The results will help healthcare providers recommend the most effective exercise strategies for postmenopausal women.
