TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title Effect of Aerobic Exercise on Plasma Oxytocin in Depressed Post-menopausal Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Official scientific title Effect of Aerobic Exercise on Plasma Oxytocin in Depressed Post-menopausal Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial It is well documented that exercise helps alleviate menopausal and depressive symptoms in middle-aged as well as post-menopausal women, butsufficient evidence does not currently exist to fully support the effect of aerobic exercise on plasma oxytocin levels. Therefore,this trial will aim to examine the effect of a 4-week aerobic exercise program on plasma oxytocin levels in depressed post-menopausal women.
