Summary

Menopause is defined as a permanent cessation of menstrual cycle for 12 months due to intrinsic diminution of ovarian oocytes among women in older age. Globally reported mean age for menopause is 48.78 years (ranges from 46-52 years). Menopausal age reported among Asian and African population was lower as compared to European women . Among postmenopausal women, age related various central nervous system, musculoskeletal, urogenital, metabolic and skin changes ensue along with osteoporosis (T-score = ≤ -2.5) and decreased bone mineral density due to estrogen deficiency that is directly associated with fragility fractures and disability among this age group. Therefore, recruitment of older adults in resistance training program is crucial in inducing increases in muscle strength and ameliorating glucose tolerance and increased insulin sensitivity along with improvements in BMD and BMR.

  • Post Menopause

Interventions

OTHER

High Intensity Resistance Training (HIRT)

High Intensity Resistance Exercises Supervised High Intensity Resistance Training with 15 minutes of cycling as a warm-up activity then HIRT through Quadriceps drill, Squats, Lunges, Leg press, Biceps curls and Deadlift with 120 seconds of rest interval between each set of exercise and between exercises will be performed by the participants with appropriate cool down through generalized stretching exercises. Participants will perform exercises twice weekly, 40-50 minutes/session for 12 weeks respectively.

OTHER

Low-moderate Resistance Exercise Training

Supervised Low-moderate Resistance Training with 15 minutes of cycling as a warm-up activity then Quadriceps drill, Squats, Lunges, Leg press, Biceps curls and Deadlift with 120 seconds of rest interval between each set of exercise and between exercises will be performed by the participants with appropriate cool down through generalized stretching exercises. Participants will perform exercises twice weekly, 40-50 minutes/session for 12 weeks respectively.
