New research highlights the benefits of fitness program Pvolve, endorsed by actress and fitness icon Jennifer Aniston as a ‘game changer’, for improving physical function during menopause. Led by the University of Exeter and funded by Pvolve, the study investigated whether the low-impact resistance program could enhance strength, balance, and body composition, and whether menopause status affected these improvements.
Published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the study involved 70 moderately active women aged 40-60 in the South West of England, none of whom were on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Participants were split into two groups: 45 did Pvolve for 12 weeks, while 25 followed a standard exercise routine of 150 minutes per week.
The results showed that the Pvolve group experienced significant improvements, including a 19% increase in hip function and lower body strength, a 21% boost in lower body flexibility, and a 10% improvement in balance and stability, compared to the standard exercise group.
But what does the Pvolve workout actually involve, and to what extent could it benefit women going through menopause?. What physical changes often occur before, during and after menopause?. Menopause brings about hormonal fluctuations that can affect multiple organs and bodily functions.
Menopause can also increase the risk of osteoporosis, a condition where your bones become brittle and more prone to breaks, she adds. “The decline in oestrogen accelerates bone density loss, particularly affecting areas such as the hips, spine, and wrists in postmenopausal women,” notes Potter. “This increases the likelihood of fractures.”.
