An interventional study of Fitness walking and Maintained lifestyle in Postmenopause Women, sponsored by Beijing Sport University. Completed at 2 sites in China. Open to female participants aged 50 Years to 69 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-06-12.
Sponsored by Beijing Sport University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
Postmenopausal women were separated into two groups: one participating in a 12-week fitness walking programe as the fitness walking group, and the other maintaining their regular lifestyle as the control group. The study evaluated alterations in health markers and examined the correlation between metabolic syndrome risk factors and sex hormone levels before and after the intervention.
According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, our study invlved postmenopausal women aged from 50 to 69 years old. After the selection process, baseline assessments were conducted, including evaluations of metabolic syndrome risk factors, body morphology measurements, sex hormone levels, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Participants were then randomly assigned to either the fitness walking group or the control group using a random number table. Participants in the fitness walking group completed a 12-week fitness walking program, while those in the control group maintained their usual lifestyle without any intervention. During the post-intervention assessment, all baseline measurements were repeated to evaluate changes in the previously measured indicators.
