This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a combination of high-intensity interval cycling and mindfulness breathing exercises can help improve your body's hormonal balance and metabolism. The study focuses on postmenopausal women who are living with obesity, and researchers want to see if these lifestyle changes can reduce markers in your blood that may be linked to health risks.
After menopause, many women experience changes in hormones and metabolism that can increase health risks. This trial exists to find out whether exercise and breathing techniques—approaches that don't rely on medication—might help restore better metabolic and hormonal balance in this population.

If you join the exercise group, you will come to the facility three times per week for 12 weeks. Each session involves 10 minutes of warm-up and cool-down cycling, plus intense interval cycling (60-second hard efforts followed by rest periods) that gradually becomes more challenging. You'll also do a 15-minute mindfulness breathing exercise focusing on controlled breathing and mental awareness. Your heart rate will be monitored throughout to ensure safety. The control group will receive healthy diet recommendations instead.
