This study was conducted to examine the effects of exercise programs on the physical and psychosocial health of postmenopausal women. The postmenopausal period is characterized by an increased risk of problems such as decreased muscle strength, balance problems, fatigue, stress, and reduced quality of life due to hormonal changes. Therefore, appropriate exercise approaches are crucial during this period.
The study evaluated the effects of regular and planned exercise programs on the physical functions and overall well-being of postmenopausal women.
The study also addressed structured exercise approaches such as high-intensity functional training (HIFT). HIFT consists of short but intense exercises similar to daily activities. However, such exercises should be planned and monitored by healthcare professionals according to the individual's age and health status.
