During the age of 45 to 50, women experience significant physical and psychological changes. These are due to the transition from premenopause to menopause, a period during which significant hormonal changes occur. The most significant of these is the gradual decrease in estrogen and progesterone levels, which affects various systems of the body.
The decrease in estrogen has a direct effect on bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. In addition, changes in metabolism can lead to weight gain and fat deposition, especially in the abdominal area. These changes, combined with possible loss of muscle mass, affect a woman’s physical condition and well-being.
Menopause affects both physical and psychological health. Hormonal fluctuations can cause symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbances. Many women also report a decrease in self-confidence and difficulty in adapting to the new changes they are experiencing.
Physical exercise, especially resistance training, can play an important role in maintaining health during menopause. Weight training helps maintain bone density, reducing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.

It is therefore important for menopausal women to adopt a healthy lifestyle, which includes a balanced diet, adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, as well as regular physical exercise.In combination with medical monitoring and possible therapeutic intervention where necessary, they can effectively manage the changes brought about by menopause and maintain a good quality of life.
