Overview

Skeletal muscle mass plays an important role with both metabolism and functional capacity. It is well established that the aging process leads to a significant decline in both muscle mass and strength which is associated with frailty , an increased risk of falls and decreased physical fitness and function In this context, high-load resistance training has been shown to reduce the risk of falls and increase strength and functional capacity in middle-aged and/or elderly individuals. Aquatic exercise is one method that has previously been shown to improve muscle strength, balance, and coordination in those of advancing age Although the evidence supports the effectiveness of both water-based burpee exercise in middle-aged and elderly individuals, has, to our knowledge, never been investigated. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the long-term effect of water-based burpee exercises

Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the long-term effect of water-based burpee exercises
  • Other aerobic exercises
    Traditional aerobic exercises for post-menopause include activities like brisk walking, jogging and cycling. These exercises help improve cardiovascular health, boost metabolism, and enhance mood. They can also be beneficial for maintaining bone density, especially weight-bearing exercises like walking and jogging.

Primary outcome measures

  • FEV1/FVC ( % ) [Time frame: pre and post 8 weeks]
  • FEV1 ( liters ) [Time frame: pre and post 8 weeks]
  • PEF ( liters / minute ) [Time frame: pre and post 8 weeks]
  • FVC ( liters ) [Time frame: Pre and post 8 weeks]
  • Chest expansion ( centimeter ) [Time frame: Pre and post 8 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
  • Timed up and go test ( seconds ) [Time frame: Pre and post 8 weeks]
  • Gait Speed ( meters per second ) ( 4 Metre Walk Test ) [Time frame: Pre and post 8 weeks]
  • 30-Second Chair Test ( number of times the patient comes to a full standing position in 30 seconds ). [Time frame: Pre and post 8 weeks]
  • Berg Balance Scale (BBS) to test dynamic balance [Time frame: Pre and post 8 weeks]
