Post-Menopausal Fitness

Meaning

A specialized, evidence-based exercise and physical activity regimen specifically structured to counteract the unique physiological and hormonal consequences of estrogen deficiency following the cessation of menses. This fitness strategy is deliberately focused on mitigating the accelerated decline in bone mineral density, preventing the loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia), managing the adverse metabolic changes, and preserving cardiovascular function. The goal is to maintain robust physical function, enhance the overall quality of life, and substantially reduce the risk of osteoporosis, frailty, and chronic diseases prevalent in the post-menopausal years.
