The goal of this clinical trial is to learn which physical activity affects the quality of gait, physical and mental fitness of older women. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does any of the training methods improve the physical or mental fitness of postmenopausal women? Which of these training methods improves the physical and mental condition of postmenopausal women the most?
Researchers will compare the results of three training groups to each other and to control group (with no training) to see which training method has the greatest impact on improving the quality of gait, physical fitness and mental health of postmenopausal women.
Participants took part in physical activity classes that took place for 12 weeks, twice a week for 45 minutes.
Before starting the first and after completing the last physical activity, participants participated in the following tests: resting circulatory parameters, anthropometric tests, respiratory spirometry, cardiorespiratory fitness assessment, Fullerton test, measurement of force distribution and foot pressure, physical activity level assessment (IPAQ), and questionnaires on health-related quality of life (SF-36), geriatric depression scale (GDS), and cognitive function assessment scale (MoCA).
