Effect of Exercise on Fall Prevention in Postmenopausal Women: Scopic Systemic Review

Abstract

Background: Exercise treatments effects on fall prevention in postmenopausal women, who have more falls than
women in other age groups. The purpose of this study was to thoroughly examine how exercise programmes
affect postmenopausal women’s ability to prevent falls.
Method: We looked through five electronic databases to find controlled studies examining how exercise
interventions affected postmenopausal women’s risk of falling. The listed studies quality was evaluated using
the Pedro scale.
Results: The qualifying requirements were met by twenty experiments that looked at the effects of whole body
vibration programmes, Pilates training, closed and open kinetic chain, aerobic and strength training, aquatic
exercise, and vitamin D supplementation. Exercise of all kinds was linked to increases in bone metabolism,
muscle strength, speed of motor responses, pain management, balance, BMD, fall risk, everyday living activities,
flexibility, mobility, and a significant improvement in gait pattern and recovery time following pertubated gait.
Few research compared various exercise regimens or intensities.
Conclusion: This review bolsters the benefits of exercise on falls in postmenopausal women. While strength and
resistance training was found to yield positive results, more research in postmenopausal women is necessary to
determine the precise and efficient outcome, as the present data is insufficient.
