findings reinforce the importance of tailoring exercise prescriptions to individual health priorities and risk profiles, rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach.At the mechanistic end of the research spectrum, Dai et al. In conclusion, the studies presented in this Special Issue collectively reinforce exercise as a robust evidence-based and adaptable intervention to support women across the menopausal transition. By integrating mechanistic insight, innovative exercise modalities and global perspectives, this body of work advances the field towards more personalised, equitable and sustainable approaches to optimising health and well-being in midlife and beyond.Funding.
