Effects of supervised aerobic exercise program v/s home-based exercise program on stress, sleep quality and quality of life in perimenopausal women: A Randomized controlled trial
Randomized controlled trial shows supervised aerobic exercise enhances stress and sleep quality in perimenopausal women, suggesting it may be preferred over home-based programs.
Key Points
Supervised aerobic exercise significantly improves stress levels and sleep quality in perimenopausal women, compared to home-based exercise.
Participants in the aerobic group showed statistically significant changes in quality of life metrics like MENQOL, with p values below 0.05.
This randomized controlled trial involved women aged 42 to 48 years who had not undergone hormone replacement therapy, focusing on their health improvements.
Findings support the notion that structured exercise regimens can effectively manage menopausal symptoms, highlighting the necessity for more intervention-focused studies.
