The period of menopause means a different experience for every woman. Although the average age of natural menopause is 52, for some women this transition begins as soon as they reach 40 years of age. It is also very important for menopausal women to recognize the importance of physical activity during this transition period. Menopausal women face major challenges, such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and mood swings, just to name a few. These symptoms, which can occur individually or together, significantly impair the quality of life.
During menopause, the role of physical activity becomes the most important issue - not only because of the various symptoms mentioned above, but because menopause increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, bone density loss, depression and obesity (Freeman 2010; Guthrie et al. 2004).
A scientific study suggests that no less than 60% are overweight during menopause (Milewicz, Bidzinska & Sidorowicz 1996). Several studies involving the Link between obesity and menopausal symptoms investigate, show that women with an elevated body mass index (BMI - body mass index) report various symptoms more often than women with a healthy BMI and that they are at greater risk of depression (Fernández-Alonso et al. 2010). In addition, sarcopenia (i.e. age-related muscle and loss of strength) is often experienced by menopausal women, for whom the decrease in estrogen levels is increased by lack of physical activity.
There is conclusive scientific evidence that Benefits of physical activity for middle-aged women highlight. These benefits include not only improving brain function and functioning (muscle strength, muscle quality, and balance), but also relieving somatic and emotional symptoms such as anxiety and depression. Physical activity has a positive effect on menopausal symptoms and helps maintain a healthy BMI.
