All 120 subjects underwent treadmill test under modified Bruce protocol. VO2max was calculated from MET (1 MET= 3.5 ml of oxygen /kg body weight /minute).Result: Postmenopausal women had a lower VO2max than premenopausal women, which may be associated with a higher total and visceral fat mass in postmenopausal women.Conclusion: Our data suggested that postmenopausal women had a lower premenopausal women.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>VO2max,treadmill test,post menopausal women</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://njbms.in/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=1749&title=VO2MAX IN PREMENOPAUSAL AND POST MENOPAUSAL WOMEN</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
