Abstract
Perimenopause is defined as the transition to menopause which usually lasts about 7 years but can extend up to 14 years. Its onset is associated with fluctuations in the level of various hormones which in turn can lead to various symptoms including vasomotor symptoms, genitourinary discomforts, psychogenic symptoms, physical discomfort, sleep disturbances and cognitive dysfunction. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effect of an aerobic exercise program and Pilates exercise program in improving the core stability, sleep quality and menopausal symptoms among perimenopausal women. It is an experimental study with two experimental groups and one control group. Baseline data was collected at week zero and another assessment were done at week six after successful administration of the exercise programs in both groups. Data analysis revealed that there were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the intervention groups – Aerobic exercise group, Pilates exercise group and the control group (
