About this trial
Skeletal muscle mass plays an important role with both metabolism and functional capacity. It is well established that the aging process leads to a significant decline in both muscle mass and strength which is associated with frailty , an increased risk of falls and decreased physical fitness and function In this context, high-load resistance training has been shown to reduce the risk of falls and increase strength and functional capacity in middle-aged and/or elderly individuals.
Aquatic exercise is one method that has previously been shown to improve muscle strength, balance, and coordination in those of advancing age Although the evidence supports the effectiveness of both water-based burpee exercise in middle-aged and elderly individuals, has, to our knowledge, never been investigated. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the long-term effect of water-based burpee exercises

aerobic exercises
Other interventionTraditional aerobic exercises for post-menopause include activities like brisk walking, jogging and cycling. These exercises help improve cardiovascular health, boost metabolism, and enhance mood. They can also be beneficial for maintaining bone density, especially weight-bearing exercises like walking and jogging.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
FEV1/FVC ( % )
Description: The ratio of the forced expiratory volume in the first one second to the forced vital capacity of the lungs. That can reflect pulmonary function , using portable spirometer ( SP 80B,China)
Time frame
pre and post 8 weeks2
FEV1 ( liters )
Forced expiratory volume in 1 second that can reflect pulmonary function , using portable spirometer ( SP 80B,China)
Time frame
pre and post 8 weeks3
PEF ( liters / minute )
Peak expiratory flow (PEF), a key indicator of lung function,using portable spirometer ( SP 80B,China)
Time frame
pre and post 8 weeks4
FVC ( liters )
Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the total amount of air exhaled during the FEV test. Forced expiratory volume and forced vital capacity are lung function tests , using portable spirometer ( SP 80B , China )
Time frame
Pre and post 8 weeksSecondary outcomes
1
Timed up and go test ( seconds )
A simple, quick, and widely used clinical performance-based measure of functional mobility and fall risk. It assesses how long it takes for a person to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn, walk back, and sit down again.
Time frame
Pre and post 8 weeks2
Gait Speed ( meters per second ) ( 4 Metre Walk Test )
Is the rate at which a person walks, is typically measured in meters per second (m/s). This is determined by dividing the distance walked by the time it takes to walk that distance. such as ( 4 Metre Walk Test )
Time frame
Pre and post 8 weeks3
30-Second Chair Test ( number of times the patient comes to a full standing position in 30 seconds ).
Designed for testing leg strength and endurance in older adults.
Time frame
Pre and post 8 weeks4
Berg Balance Scale (BBS) to test dynamic balance
A widely used assessment tool in physical therapy to evaluate a patient's functional balance and fall risk. It consists of 14 tasks, scored on a 5-point scale from 0 to 4, with a total possible score of 56. A lower score indicates a higher risk of falling.
