Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. Can physical activity programs (Nordic walking, Bungy Pump, strength training, functional general conditioning training) prevent loss of mobility, bone density and urinary incontinence, reduce the risk of falls, lower metabolic syndrome parameters, and improve cardiovascular endurance in postmenopausal women?
2. Do regular exercises improve cognitive functions, motivation, memory, visual coordination, mood, and quality of life in postmenopausal women?
Researchers will compare the test groups (Nordic Walking, Bungy Pump, strength training, functional general conditioning training) with the control group to determine whether physical activity brings benefits in terms of physical and mental health compared to no intervention.
Participants will:
Take part in a three-month physical activity program that includes Nordic walking, Bungy Pump exercises, functional general conditioning training and strength training, depending on the group.
The control group will not participate in any additional physical exercise program and will continue with their usual daily activities.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Nordic Walking
Training is about 60 minutes each time, 3 times a week, each interval of 1 or 2 days, a total of 12 weeks. The primary focus is on utilizing a specialized pole for engaging in cross-country walking. This regimen entails approximately 10 minutes of warmup exercises, followed by around 40 minutes of brisk walking, and concluding with a period of relaxation stretching lasting between 5 to 8 minutes.
Nordic walking
NW training sessions are conducted by a certified NW instructor leading participants in the outdoor forest of Gdansk. Training is about 60 minutes each time, 3 times a week, each interval of 1 or 2 days, a total of 12 weeks. Participants used professional Nordic Pole.
Daily life
The individuals engaged in routine daily tasks, while being advised against incorporating any supplementary physical exertion.

Strength training
Strength training was conducted in the gym with progressively increasing resistance from 65% to 75% of the maximum weight (one-repetition maximum (1-RM)). Participants performed 10-13 repetitions of the exercise in one serie. The training was carried out in station form and consisted of 10-13 exercises. There were rest intervals of 60-90 seconds between exercises. As intended, the training was comprehensive, i.e. it affected the muscles of the arms, legs, torso, abdomen and chest.

Bungy Pump Exercises
The training lasts approximately 60 minutes each time, 3 times a week, for a period of 12 weeks. The main emphasis is placed on the use of a specialist Bungy Pump pole. Bungy Pump training allows participants to combine aerobic and strength training. Bungy Pump poles contain a built-in shock absorber (RSA) in the form of an elastic band. The additional resistance generated by the stretched band increases the overall intensity of the exercise and increases calorie consumption. The program classes will include approximately 10 minutes of warm-up exercises, followed by approximately 40 minutes of brisk walking, and at the end a period of relaxation stretching lasting from 5 to 8 minutes.
Bungy Pump Exercises
Buny Pump training sessions are conducted by a certified BP instructor leading participants in the outdoor forest of Gdansk. Training is about 60 minutes each time, 3 times a week, a total of 12 weeks. Participants used professional Bungy Pump Pole.
Functional general conditioning training
Functional general conditioning training was carried out at home with individually adjusted resistance depending on age and health. Participants typically performed 10-13 repetitions of a given exercise. 30-second rest intervals were used between exercises. As intended, the training was comprehensive, i.e. including muscles of the arms, legs, trunk, abdomen, chest, balance and flexibility exercises. Basic training equipment was used during the training.
