Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effects of exercise prescription on the  cardiopulmonary function,muscle strength,back pain of women in perimenopausal period and provide basis for scientific exercise of women in perimenopausal period. Methods In the exercise intervention study,women in postmenopausal period (aged 40-60) were divided into exercise group andcontrol group. The indexes of  and cardiovascular performance and muscle strength and back pain were detected at the 3rd and 6th month.The women in exercise group did exercise under the guidance of exercise prescription and the women in control group didn’t do regular exercises.Results The women in exercise group had a significantly greater increase in cardiopulmonary performance after   6-month intervention.The seores of step test were improved significantly during follow-up period in  exercise group（P<0.01）,while there was no significant change  in control group（P> 0.05). The women in exercise group had a substantial improvement in muscular strength of lower limbs,lower back,and forearm（P<0.01).After 6-month intervention,the low back pain was improved significantly in exercise group,while worsened in control group ［(－85.05±77.17)%  vs  (0.26±26.38)%, P<0.01］. Conclusion Exercise prescription can improve the muscle strength,cardiovascular function and ease low back pain of women in perimenopausal period.
