Brief Summary

Skeletal muscle mass plays an important role with both metabolism and functional capacity. It is well established that the aging process leads to a significant decline in both muscle mass and strength which is associated with frailty , an increased risk of falls and decreased physical fitness and function In this context, high-load resistance training has been shown to reduce the risk of falls and increase strength and functional capacity in middle-aged and/or elderly individuals.

Aquatic exercise is one method that has previously been shown to improve muscle strength, balance, and coordination in those of advancing age Although the evidence supports the effectiveness of both water-based burpee exercise in middle-aged and elderly individuals, has, to our knowledge, never been investigated. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the long-term effect of water-based burpee exercises

Conditions

Burpee Exercise; Water Exercises; Functional Capacity; Postmenopausal; Thyroidectomy

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: SINGLE

Study Groups

Control group

Control group will perform traditional aerobic exercises

Group Type: SHAM_COMPARATOR

aerobic exercises

Intervention Type: OTHER

Traditional aerobic exercises for post-menopause include activities like brisk walking, jogging and cycling. These exercises help improve cardiovascular health, boost metabolism, and enhance mood. They can also be beneficial for maintaining bone density, especially weight-bearing exercises like walking and jogging.

Experimental group

Experimental group will perform water based burpee exercises
