Sleep quality and aerobic training among menopausal women--a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Menopause is associated with poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness, which may lead to impaired quality of life and impaired functioning in daily activities.

Objective: To study whether exercise training improves sleep quality or decreases the amount of night time hot flushes among menopausal women with vasomotor symptoms.

Study Design: A randomized controlled trial.

Effect of aerobic training on menopausal symptoms--a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess whether aerobic training affects menopausal symptoms in recently postmenopausal sedentary women.

Methods: Symptomatic women aged 45 to 63 years (N = 176; 3-36 months since last menstruation) were randomly assigned to an aerobic training or a control group. The intervention included unsupervised aerobic training for 50 minutes four times weekly for 24 weeks, whereas the control group attended health lectures twice a month.

Usability and feasibility of mobile phone diaries in an experimental physical exercise study.

Objectives: Wireless and mobile phone technology as a method of data collection will increase alongside conventional methods. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of a mobile phone application for recording symptoms and physical activity exertion during an experimental physical exercise study.

Materials And Methods: An experimental study on the effects of physical exercise on the well-being of menopausal women included 158 subjects between 44 and 63 years of age.

Effect of aerobic training on hot flushes and quality of life--a randomized controlled trial.

Background And Objective: To estimate whether aerobic training has an effect on frequency of hot flushes or quality of life.

Design: A randomized controlled trial.

Participants And Setting: Symptomatic, sedentary women (n = 176), 43-63 years, no current use of hormone therapy.
