Study aim
-
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of aerobic exercise, Salvia officinalis and their combination on the serum levels of Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, Soluble vascular cellular adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) and Endothelin-1 in Postmenopausal Women.
-
Design
-
This clinical trial study with a control group and a blind strain will be conducted in phase 3 on 32 postmenopausal women who are randomly selected. To place people in each group, Simple randomization by random allocation rule (balloting container and separate papers) is used.
-
Settings and conduct
-
The research site is Hejab Sports Club, Amol City. Since the exercise training did not have the ability to be blinded, the present study was performed in an unblinded manner. However, supplementation is blinded.
