Resistance training for women with missed periods
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether an 8-week supervised strength training program can help women with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (a condition where periods stop due to stress, low energy, or intense exercise) resume regular menstrual cycles. It compares results with women who have normal cycles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
