Official title Effect of Two Years of Resistance Training on Health Status in Postmenopausal Women: Longitudinal Study Active Aging.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06621368
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Aging is a natural process of the life cycle that can result in morphological, neuromuscular, metabolic, physiological, cognitive and behavioral changes that can compromise quality of life, autonomy, self-esteem, health and life expectancy, especially in the elderly. On the other hand, resistance training (RT) has been widely recommended for the elderly population, due to the numerous health benefits it brings, such as increased strength and muscle mass, reduced body fat, increased bone mineral content and density, and improved cardiometabolic profile, among others.
