Exercise as Medicine: A Non-Pharmacological Approach to Menopausal Symptoms

The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of different forms of physical exercise in women experiencing menopausal symptoms. Specifically, the project investigates the effects of: (1) strength training on women\'s perceived menopausal symptoms; (2) dance-based exercise on women\'s perceived menopausal symptoms; and (3) adherence to structured, digital home-based exercise programs. The following research questions will be addressed within the framework of the project: Does regular strength training reduce women\'s perceived menopausal symptoms? To what extent does strength training influence menopausal symptoms and sleep quality in women? What is the level of adherence to a digital, home-based strength training program among women with menopausal symptoms? Does regular dance-based physical activity reduce women\'s perceived menopausal symptoms? To what extent does dance-based physical activity influence menopausal symptoms and sleep quality in women? What is the level of adherence to a digital, home-based dance exercise program among women with menopausal symptoms? Which exercise protocol-strength training or dance-based exercise-has the greatest effect on perceived menopausal symptoms? The researchers will compare a digital, home-based strength training program with a digital, home-based dance exercise program, as well as with a control group, to determine which type of exercise has the greatest effect on menopausal symptoms and sleep quality. Participants will: Perform either dance-based exercise or strength training for 8 weeks, three times per week, following a structured program of approximately 30 minutes per session, or participate as part of the control group. Complete validated questionnaires assessing menopausal health, including somatic, psychological, and sexual symptoms, as well as perceived quality of life and sleep quality, both before and after the intervention. Maintain a training diary to monitor adherence and progression, including increases in training intensity
