Summary

The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to investigate the effects of and compare two modes of physical exercise (strength training and high-intensity aerobic exercise) to unchanged physical activity on vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes) in postmenopausal women. The main question it aims to answer is the effect of 15 weeks of strength training vs high intensity aerobic training vs unchanged physical activity on frequency and severity of hot flushes. Participants will be randomised to:

1. strength training
2. high-intensity aerobic training
3. untreated control group.

Researchers will compare strength training, high-intensity aerobic training and untreated control group to see if training can reduce hot flushes.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Strength training

Both interventions (strength training and high intensity aerobic training) will be introduced with a 3-week adaptation period with lower loads (strength training) or intensity (aerobic training) followed by a 12-week period on the intended load/intensity. All participants in the intervention groups will be recommended to exercise three times per week (one hour per session) and in addition be active with everyday low-intensity physical activity. A structured and detailed training diary will be used in both groups to register frequency of each training session, as well as everyday physical activity. For the strength training, load and dose will also be registered for each training session.
