High-intensity resistance and impact exercise in menopausal women: a systematic review of intervention reporting quality and training content
Authors' conclusion
HiRIT trials in peri- and postmenopausal women generally report core exercise components adequately, but important gaps remain in the reporting of progression, individualization, and behavioral support strategies.
