Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The hypothesis is that multimorbid women have a worse general health status when compared to women without multimorbidity, but aerobic exercise will be able to improve health parameters in 12 weeks of training.
This is a quasi-experimental clinical trial with a 12-week aerobic training intervention in postmenopausal women with and without cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Participants were allocated into groups according to the amount of cardiometabolic diseases, with the Morbidity group (MORB) being composed of women with one or no chronic cardiometabolic disease and the Multimorbidity group (MULTI) with two or more chronic cardiometabolic diseases.
The assessments of arterial stiffness, 24-hour ambulatory pressure, blood pressure variability, heart rate variability, lipid and glucose profile, body composition and climacteric symptoms were performed before and after the training period.
The study was carried out at the Laboratory of Cardiorespiratory and Metabolic Physiology at the Faculty of Physical Education of the Federal University of Uberlândia, Uberlândia, Brazil and approved by the Ethics Committee for studies in humans (CAEE: 12453719.1.0000.5152). All participants signed a consent form. The experiments followed the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.
The program consists of aerobic physical exercises performed three times a week on non-consecutive days for 12 weeks with an intensity of 65% to 75% of the reserve heart rate.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Results were found as mean ± standard error. Unpaired testing was used to compare baseline characteristics between groups. Comparison between groups and duration of arterial stiffness, lipid profile, glucose profile, climacteric symptoms, body composition and ABPM were made by Generalized Equation Estimates (GEE) of two factors (time, group and their interaction) with Bonferroni correction. The analyzes were performed by intention-to-treat (including those who did not complete the study: MORB n = 18; MULTI = 24) using the last-observation carried forward method. A p value \<0.05 was used for statistical significance and all statistical analyzes were performed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software v26.0 (IBM, New York, USA).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Multimorbidity Group (MULTI)
Multimorbidity group is composed of post menopausal women with two or more chronic diseases cardiometabolic (Hypertension, diabetes, dislipidemias, obesity).
Aerobic training
The program consists of aerobic exercise performed three times a week on non-consecutive days for 12 weeks at an intensity of 65% to 75% of the reserve heart rate. During the first 4 weeks of training, the exercise duration was 40 minutes (5' warm up + 30 minutes in the intensity zone + 5' cool down). From the fifth week onwards, there was only an increase in volume to 50 minutes in duration (5'warm-up + 40 minutes in the intensity zone + 5'warm-up). The aerobic fitness assessment was performed on a maximal effort ergospirometric treadmill under the supervision of a qualified physician, using the Bruce protocol (adapted) to assess cardiopulmonary capacity (to assess possible cardiovascular capacity that prevents the proposed training) and for individualized training prescription.
