Article Abstract
SPORT AND MENOPAUSE. The menopause is a physiological period in a woman's life that can be marked by a lot of symptoms impacting her quality of life. The most frequent complaints are hot flushes, mood, sleep and memory disorders. The risk of osteoporosis, loss of muscular strength, cardiovascular and metabolic risk increases more as there is a reduction in physical activity and an increase in sedentary time during this period. Recommendations for physical activity and sport help to limit the symptoms and health risks, induced by hypoestrogenism during this period of a woman's life. It is the combination of regular physical activity, at least moderate in endurance and muscular strengthening, that provides the greatest benefits, and women should be made aware of this.
