Female Muscle Enhancement — FemME  

Muscle Function Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effectiveness of a 12-week Low Impact Resistance Training Programme on Muscle Function, Body Composition, Quality of Life and Muscle Protein Synthesis in Women Aged 40-60 Years

Clinical Trial Summary

Participating in regular physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk of developing some diseases and disabilities that can occur with ageing. Muscles naturally decline with age, and in females this appears to occur more so around the time of menopause. Time, work, family commitments and the availability of facilities have all been identified as barriers to exercise in middle age. Increasing activity levels in middle age appears to improve muscle function and bone health. However, there is a lack of evidence in how muscle function responds to low impact resistance exercise in middle aged females. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and the mechanisms associated with building muscle as well as the effect on quality of life in middle aged (40-60 years) females using a low impact resistance training programme.
