Physical Exercise and Dietary Supplementation in Middle-Aged and OlderWomen: A Systematic Review Sánchez García, Juan Carlos López Hernández, Daniel Piqueras Sola, Beatriz Cortés Martín, Jonathan Reinoso Cobo, Andres Menor Rodríguez, María José Rodríguez Blanque, Raquel Menopause Osteoporosis Exercises With the aging of the population in developed countries, the number of middle-aged and older women is progressively increasing. During this stage, women suffer from a number of signs and symptoms that could be reduced or treated with physical exercise and dietary supplements. The main objective of this study was to analyse the benefits of exercise and dietary supplements during menopause. Materials and methods: A systematic review of the scientific literature was performed according to the PRISMA 2020 protocol, searching the PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and WOS databases. Studies that met the inclusion criteria were assessed for methodological quality using the PEDro or AMSTAR-2 scales. Results: The searches yielded a total of 104 results, of which 10 were selected, with methodological quality ranging from fair to excellent. Each article examined the combination of a dietary supplement plan versus a placebo; plus an exercise routine versus another routine or a sedentary lifestyle. The results showed the benefits of combining a nutritional supplementation plan with an exercise routine during menopause. Conclusions: The practice of weekly strength and endurance exercises, together with the consumption of certain dietary supplements, may be a good resource for coping with menopause in a healthy way. 2024-04-25T07:01:43Z 2024-04-25T07:01:43Z 2023-11-23 journal article Sánchez-García, J.C.; López Hernández, D.; Piqueras-Sola, B.; Cortés-Martín, J.; Reinoso-Cobo, A.; Menor-Rodríguez, M.J.; Rodríguez -Blanque, R.
