The effect of resistance training in reducing hot flushes in post-menopausal women: A meta-analysis.

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.
