Intermittent walking training improves thyroid function and cardiometabolic risk factors in postmenopausal women
A 10-week MIWT program modestly improved thyroid hormones, cardiometabolic risk and functional capacity in obese postmenopausal women without adverse effects. MIWT is an accessible and low-impact intervention suitable for integration into routine clinical practice to prevent and manage thyroid-related and cardiometabolic disorders in this high-risk population.
