The Impact of Concurrent Training on Women Experiencing Symptoms of Menopause

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of a concurrent training exercise intervention on menopausal symptoms and key physical and mental health outcomes. The proposed study is powered based on a primary outcome of examining the change in menopausal symptoms using the MenQoL questionnaire. Participants (n=70) will be randomised to an intervention or control group. The intervention group will participate in a 12 week online (via zoom) concurrent training programme, consisting of three forty-five minute sessions (on non-consecutive days) per week that align with WHO exercise recommendations for adults and the control group will maintain their regular activity. The exercise classes will be delivered by qualified Sport \& Exercise Scientists and will consist of a combination of bodyweight and resistance band exercises. Each class will consist of a 5 minute warm up, 15 minutes of aerobic exercise, 20 minutes of resistance training, and a 5 minute cool-down. Both groups will engage in pre and post testing through questionnaires (GAD-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL), Body Appreciation (BAS-2)), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Sleep, International physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ), Body image questionnaire (BAS-2) and physical tests (Bod pod, grip-strength, 3-RM leg press, 3-RM cable pull, counter-movement jump and Astrand Rhyming submaximal aerobic test).

Is there an increase in the quality of sexual life among women who participate in mandala coloring after the intervention? Researchers will compare the intervention group (those who participated in mandala coloring) with the control group (those who did not participate in any intervention) to evaluate the effectiveness of mandala coloring. Participants * Participants in the intervention group will attend 30-minute mandala coloring sessions once a week for 4 weeks. * Participants in the control group will not receive any intervention during the same period. * Both groups will be assessed using a questionnaire at the beginning of the study and at the end of the 4th week (pre-test/post-test).
