Purpose/Hypothesis: Due to recent findings regarding the adverse effects of hormone therapy (HT), alternative treatments are being explored for menopausal symptoms and decreased quality of life (QOL) associated with this transitional period. Several studies have demonstrated aerobic and resistance training programs can reduce menopausal symptoms and increase QOL. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an eight week circuit training program on QOL and menopausal symptoms in perimenopausal and post menopausal women. Number of Subjects: n=12. Materials/Methods: Participants in the study underwent a circuit training program at a local fitness center in southern New Jersey. Participants (n=12) were encouraged to exercise two times per week. The participants' QOL and menopausal symptoms were monitored via pre and post-test administration of the Menopause Specific Quality of Life Intervention Questionnaire (MENQOL). The participants' physical activity level was evaluated using Baecke's Questionnaire of Habitual Physical Activity. Physical strength, endurance and flexibility were evaluated at the start and completion of the study by the push-up test, curl-up test, sit and reach test, Anthropometric measurements, included: body weight, height and percentage of body fat. Results: Statistical significance was observed in the physical domain of the MENQOL - Intervention (p<0.05) but not in the vasomotor, psychosocial and sexual domains. An increase in muscle strength, endurance and flexibility was observed post circuit training using a modified push-up test and sit and reach test (p<0.05). However, statistical significance was not seen in the other physical tests: curl-up, body fat percentage and in Baecke's Questionnaire. Conclusions: Circuit training may be a helpful strategy for peri and postmenopausal women who experience menopausal symptoms and decreased QOL. Future larger clinical trials of various forms of circuit training are recommended to further define the long term benefits of exercise. Clinical Relevance: As the baby boomer generation ages, a large number of women are entering the menopause transition. Our patients may be affected by the symptoms associated with menopause and these symptoms may be impacting the patient's recovery. We as clinician may also be involved in preparing health and wellness programs for our patients. Incorporating a comprehensive exercise program (e.g., circuit training) into a woman's lifestyle has the potential to improve her overall health and wellbeing.
