How to read this. Each line is one study, summarised in plain language from its PubMed abstract, with the authors' own sentence underneath on the study page. A count of studies is not a verdict: trials differ in size, length and quality, and a result in one group of women may not hold in another. Nothing here is medical advice.
Summaries are generated, then checked by machine against the abstract they came from; any summary that could not be matched word for word was left out. Our clinical lead is reviewing the summaries topic by topic, and this note will change when that is done. Corpus last refreshed 2026-11-03. Spotted a mistake? Tell us and we will fix the summary or remove the study.

- In 68 obese postmenopausal women, 12 weeks of treadmill exercise combined with the MIND diet improved cognitive and functional levels and changed sex hormone levels compared with diet alone.
- Fifteen middle-aged women did a single session crossover trial of low-load resistance exercise with blood flow restriction, which reported faster reaction times and increased BDNF and VEGF compared with other conditions.
- In a crossover RCT, 29 postmenopausal women aged about 55 completed one isometric resistance session and one high-intensity interval session; neither improved cognitive performance despite increased brain oxygenation.
