Resistance Training for Women With Absent Periods
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised 8-week weightlifting program can help women whose periods have stopped due to stress or intense exercise (not other medical causes). Researchers will compare women with this condition to women with regular periods to see how resistance training affects hormonal health and menstrual function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
