Abstract

Perimenopause is a critical phase in a woman's life, marked by hormonal fluctuations that often lead to sleep disturbances and increased anxiety. These symptoms can significantly affect a woman’s quality of life, making effective interventions necessary. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the impact of aerobic exercise on sleep quality and anxiety levels in perimenopausal women. After a 12-week intervention, results indicated significant improvements in both sleep quality and anxiety in the experimental group. The study advances understanding of non-pharmacological interventions, suggesting aerobic exercise as a valuable tool for managing perimenopausal symptoms.
