Overview
The aim of this study is to compare the short-term and long-term effects of an 8-week home-based multimodal exercise program, delivered through a smartphone app, on quality of life, muscle function, and physical performance in early postmenopausal women.
Detailed description
The goal of this study is to investigate whether a comprehensive exercise program in early postmenopause can improve quality of life, physical function, and long-term health.
The main question it aims to answer is:
Does adding exercise intervention in early postmenopause will improve their quality of life and long-term health?
