Examining the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a group-based physical activity intervention integrating strength training among pre- and perimenopausal women: A randomized pilot trial.
Randomized pilot trial shows feasibility of group-based strength training via Zoom for pre- and perimenopausal women, indicating potential benefits for managing menopause-related changes.
Key Points
The group-based physical activity strength intervention was designed for pre- and perimenopausal women aged 40-50.
Participants increased physical activity by about 21 minutes per week, while the control group decreased by 2 minutes.
The intervention utilized Self-Determination Theory and habit formation principles to enhance motivation and adherence.
Findings support the feasibility of remote strength training intervention, suggesting potential for wider application in similar populations.
