Brief Summary

Introduction: The transition to menopause entails several changes in the biopsychosocial sphere of climacteric women. Compared to other therapies, physical exercise has no side effects, is not costly and can have a positive influence on the symptoms reported by women at this stage. The emotional and physical state of climacteric women is affected by the alterations typical of menopause, deteriorating their quality of life. Likewise, physical exercise improves the associated symptomatology. The objective is to know how the study variables (symptomatology, quality of life, emotional state, physical exercise and level of coping) correlate. Material and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive observational design with a study population made up of women in the climacteric stage carried out through an anonymous and voluntary survey.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Physical activity

  It is evaluated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). This questionnaire in its short version consists of 7 questions about the frequency, duration and intensity of physical activity performed during the last 7 days and is designed to be used with adults between the ages of 18 and 65. The aim is thus to monitor the time spent for each type of activity. Weekly physical activity will be quantified in Metabolic Rate Units (METs) per minute and per week. The reference values used in this questionnaire mark 3.3 METs for walking, 4 METs for moderate physical activity and 8 METs for intense physical activity. These amounts must be multiplied by the time in minutes and by the number of days used to carry out each of the different exercise modalities according to their value. The IPAQ classifies the level of physical activity performed into 3 categories: low, medium and high.
