Intermittent walking training for heart health in women
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a specific walking program, done in short bursts with rest breaks, can improve heart and metabolic health in women. It compares effects between premenopausal and postmenopausal women who have overweight.
