Exercise for heart health in postmenopausal women
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests how different exercise routines affect heart and metabolic health in women after menopause. It may help if you are already active, have few heart risk factors, and are not on hormone therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have not had a period in at least one year.
- You exercise 150–300 minutes moderately each week, or at least 75 minutes vigorously.
- You have no more than three traditional heart risk factors (like high cholesterol, smoking, family history).
- You do not have heart disease, significant kidney, or metabolic disease (well-controlled high blood pressure may be okay).
- If you take blood pressure medication, it must be only one medicine for mild high blood pressure, and not a beta-blocker.
- You have never used hormone replacement therapy.
