Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Multicomponent exercise, nutrition, and psychoeducational program: 16-week program combining supervised resistance, aerobic, and balance training with psychoeducational and nutrition-focused behavioral workshops, delivered by qualified exercise professionals, psychologists, and nutrition professionals.

Study summary

"Women in Action" is a quasi-experimental, mixed-methods study evaluating a 16-week multicomponent intervention (supervised strength/aerobic/balance training plus psychoeducational and nutrition-focused behavioral workshops) for women aged 55-75 in perimenopause, menopause, and early ageing. The study will assess the feasibility, implementation fidelity, and acceptability of the program, together with its preliminary effects on a single primary outcome (handgrip strength) and secondary physical function, dietary, and psychosocial outcomes, compared with a passive control group receiving no intervention.
