Resumen
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.
