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.
This study tests whether adding more protein to your diet along with regular exercise can improve health and well-being in women over 50 who have gone through menopause.
This study tests whether a combined program of interval aerobic training (alternate “hard/easy” exercise) and mindfulness breathing can improve hormone, metabolic (body chemistry/energy), and tumor marker measures in women after menopause. If you meet the criteria, you may benefit from structured activity and breathing techniques while researchers track health changes over time.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can improve heart rate variability (how your heart adapts to activity) and reduce menopausal symptoms in women after menopause. Researchers want to see if exercise helps your cardiovascular health during this life stage.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can improve how your body uses fat. It is designed for postmenopausal women with higher weight and prediabetes who are not currently exercising much.
This study is testing whether different types of exercise (like walking, strength training, or a mix) are practical and helpful for women going through perimenopause who have menopause symptoms and risk factors for heart or metabolic disease.
