Water Based Burpee Exercises on Functional Capacity in Poste-menopausal Women After Thyroidectomy

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

water based burpee exercises: water based burpee exercises ( 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

aerobic exercises: 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.

Study 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.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• FEV1/FVC ( % ) — pre and post 8 weeks
  Description: The ratio of the forced expiratory volume in the first one second to the forced vital capacity of the lungs. That can reflect pulmonary function , using portable spirometer ( SP 80B,China)
• FEV1 ( liters ) — pre and post 8 weeks
  Forced expiratory volume in 1 second that can reflect pulmonary function , using portable spirometer ( SP 80B,China)
• PEF ( liters / minute ) — pre and post 8 weeks
  Peak expiratory flow (PEF), a key indicator of lung function,using portable spirometer ( SP 80B,China)
• FVC ( liters ) — Pre and post 8 weeks
  Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the total amount of air exhaled during the FEV test. Forced expiratory volume and forced vital capacity are lung function tests , using portable spirometer ( SP 80B , China )
• Chest expansion ( centimeter ) — Pre and post 8 weeks
  A simple, noninvasive pulmonary function test used to assess chest wall mobility and, to a lesser extent, lung function , using tape measurement.
