Free exercise programme for post-menopausal women

Anja from Petone

There is currently an exciting opportunity for post-menopausal women to take part in a 3 months mini-trampoline exercise programme! This research is going to examine how a 3-months mini-trampoline exercise programme can improve overall fitness, bone density, and pelvic floor muscle functioning in older healthy women.

We are currently looking for post-menopausal women between the ages of 50-69 years old. The study will be carried out at Lower Hutt and Wellington locations. It involves three assessments testing physcial fitness, bone density, and pelvic floor muscle functioning (up to 1 hours for each assessment). You will also be able to take part in a 3 month mini-trampoline exercise programme within a group of 6 people. Participants will receive up to $100 in travel vouchers for taking part in the study.

For more information, or if you are interested in taking part, please contact me directly through a message here of through an email to: A.Fricke@massey.ac.nz!

Thanks

Anja
