Postmenopausal Strength Gain

Meaning

Postmenopausal Strength Gain refers to the clinically measurable increase in skeletal muscle strength and functional capacity achieved by women following the cessation of menstruation, typically through targeted exercise and/or hormonal interventions. This outcome is significant because the menopausal transition is characterized by a decline in anabolic hormones, particularly estrogen, which contributes to sarcopenia and reduced bone density. Achieving strength gain in this phase is a critical objective for improving quality of life, metabolic health, and reducing the risk of fragility fractures.
