Most women experience vasomotor symptoms (VMS) around menopause that may affect quality of life negatively. Effective pharmacological treatment exists but is not recommended for all women, and there is a demand for alternatives to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of a resistance training intervention on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in postmenopausal women with VMS.
This open randomized controlled trial included 65 postmenopausal women >45 years old with daily VMS. The participants were randomized to 15 weeks of resistance training three times per week or an untreated control group. The Women's Health Questionnaire (WHQ) and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) were used to assess HRQoL at baseline and after 15 weeks.
The resistance training group improved compared to the control group in the WHQ domains of VMS ( = 0.002), sleep problems ( = 0.003) and menstrual symptoms ( = 0.01) from baseline to post intervention. No significant between-group differences were found in SF-36 summary scores, or in any of the domains.
In postmenopausal women with moderate to severe VMS, resistance training three times per week for 15 weeks improved menopause-specific HRQoL.
大多数女性在围绝经期会经历血管舒缩症状（VMS），这可能会对生活质量产生负面影响。虽然存在有效的药物治疗方法，但并非推荐所有女性使用，而且人们需要寻求替代方法来减轻症状并改善生活质量。本研究的目的是调查抗阻训练对 VMS 绝经后妇女健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）的影响。
这是一项开放随机对照试验，纳入了 65 名年龄>45 岁、每日出现 VMS 的绝经后女性。参与者被随机分为每周进行 3 次抗阻训练 15 周组或未治疗对照组。在基线和 15 周后，使用妇女健康问卷（WHQ）和健康调查简表（SF-36）评估 HRQoL。
与对照组相比，抗阻训练组在 WHQ 的 VMS 症状（ = 0.002）、睡眠问题（ = 0.003）和月经症状（ = 0.01）领域的评分在干预后得到改善。SF-36 综合评分或任何其他领域均未发现组间有显著差异。
在有中度至重度 VMS 的绝经后妇女中，每周进行 3 次、持续 15 周的抗阻训练可改善与绝经期相关的 HRQoL。
