This research aims to understand how different exercise intensities impact the risk of heart disease in postmenopausal women. Heart disease, including heart attacks and strokes, is a leading cause of death among older women. Certain factors like irregular heart rate, fluctuating blood pressure, high levels of specific clotting proteins, and high LDL-cholesterol increase the risk of heart disease. The study seeks to clarify how exercise can influence these risk factors, as current knowledge is limited. By exploring the effects of exercise intensity, this research hopes to provide postmenopausal women with optimal workout guidelines to lower body fat and reduce the risk of heart disease.
