Preventing muscle and bone loss in peri-menopausal and early post-menopausal females with heavy strength and impact training: Results from the STOP-EM randomised waitlisted controlled feasibility trial.
Bone reports·September 1, 2026·PMID 42396128

This study provides early evidence that a structured resistance and impact program can mitigate these declines, supporting proactive intervention during the menopausal transition.
