Effect of Exercise Training Intensity on Brain and Body Blood Vessel Function During Perimenopause (The PERI-VASC Study)

About the study

As females enter menopause, blood vessel function can begin to decline due to a reduction in hormone levels in the body. This study aims to identify the effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate intensity interval training (MIIT) on preserving blood vessel function in the brain and throughout the body during menopausal transition.
