ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this meta-analysis is to study the effect of different strengths of resistance training programs on the severity and frequency of hot flushes in postmenopausal women with vasomotor symptoms.BACKGROUND:
Menopause is defined as the state in which the menstrual cycle of a biological female spontaneously comes to a halt for a period of about 1 year. Through a detailed analysis of much of the research, it is found that the resistance training program is beneficial not only for reducing the severity as well as the frequency of hot flushes in postmenopausal women. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Online research was conducted through databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Trial Register, and Google Scholar till the 20th of March 2023. The Review Manager (version 5.4.1) was used to statistically analyze the data from the studies. Studies meeting the inclusion criteria, comparing the vasomotor symptoms in resistance training groups as compared to control were used for this meta-analysis. The primary outcome of interest was the alleviation of hot flushes in the resistance training group. Random-effect model was used to pool the studies and the result was reported in SMD with 95% Confidence Interval (CI).RESULTS:
5 studies were selected for this review. Statistical analysis shows that vasomotor symptoms were more common in the control group and decreased significantly in the resistance training group after the intervention (SMD = -1.31, 95% CI -1.85 to -0.77, p = 0.002).CONCLUSION:
Resistance Training significantly affects vasomotor symptoms and can be considered for such symptoms in postmenopausal women.Palavras-chave
