This research project aims to explore both the promotion of physical activity for post-menopausal women in Ireland and investigate the impact of exercise rehabilitation in this population. The first phase of this study aims to capture the promotion of physical activity by the healthcare professionals working with post-menopausal women in Ireland. In addition, this phase will explore the perspectives of post-menopausal women on physical activity during this significant phase of aging. The second phase of this program aims to capture current physical activity levels of post-menopausal women and explore associations with a range of health-related indices. The final phase of this project will involve the design, implementation and evaluation of an exercise rehabilitation program targeted specifically at post-menopausal women in Ireland.
