About this study
Official title: Effects of Progressive Resistance Training on Depression , Fatigue and Vasomotor Symptoms in Post Menopausal Women
The study will be a randomized clinical trial and will be conducted in Civil Hospital and Kalsoom Hospital Samundry. This study will be completed in time duration of 10 months after the approval of synopsis. Non probability convenience sampling with Randomization technique will be used and 26 participants will be recruited in study after randomization. The subjects will be divided into two groups and the group A will receive Progressive training and Health education and group B will receive only Health education. The data will be assessed at the baseline and after 8th week of treatment. After data collection data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 21.
Read the detailed description
The significance of this study is that it may improve the postmenopausal symptoms like depression and vasomotor symptoms which includes hot flushes , night sweats etc .in postmenopausal females. The majority of studies examining the vasomotor symptoms affected by symptoms of post menopause have concentrated on the effects of therapies like hormone therapy.To our knowledge, no studies have looked at the connection between vasomotor symptoms,depression and resistance training. Without doing so, it is challenging to understand how Vasomotor symptoms have an impact. This study sought to fill in the knowledge vaccum by examining the resistance training effect on depression , fatigue and vasomotor symptoms.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Progressive resistance trainingOther
It consists of patients who will receive both Resistance exercise training sessions and aerobic training 3 times per week for 8 weeks. Every session will be of 45 minutes. Exercises used in the resistance exercise 1)Standing chess press;(2)Strengthening back muscles in sitting position;(3)Standing strengthening abduction of both shoulders;(4)Standing strengthening flexion of both shoulders;(5)Standing strengthening flexion of both forearms;(6)Standing strengthening extension of both forearms;(7)Strengthening extension of both knees in sitting position;(8)Strengthening flexion of both knees in sitting position;(9)Strengthening dorsiflexion of both ankles in sitting position.
Control groupOther
The participants will receive information regarding health education.

| Progressive resistance training | Experimental | Not described Receives: Other: Progressive resistance training |
| Control group | Experimental | Not described Receives: Other: Control group |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Hot Flash related Interference Scale (HFRDIS) for vasomotor symptoms
The HFRDIS is a 10-item scale which measures the degree hot flashes interfere with daily activities; the tenth item measures the degree hot flashes interfere with overall quality of life. The HFRDIS was internally consistent, with alphas of 0.96 at times
Measured: 6th week
FATIGUE SEVERITY SCALE
The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) is a 9-item scale which measures the severity of fatigue and its effect on a person's activities and lifestyle.
Measured: 6th week
DASS-21( Depression, Anxiety and stress scale 21-item
DASS-21 is a self reported questionnaire which is used to assess the severity of range of symptoms like depression, anxiety and stress. It is not only used to measure the severity of symptoms but can also be used to assess the subject's response to treatment.The reliability of DASS-21 showed that it has excellent Cronbach's alpha values of 0.81,0.89 and 0.78 for the subscales of depressive, anxiety and stress respectively.
Measured: 6th Week
