Free exercise programme for post-menopausal women
There is currently an exciting opportunity for post-menopausal women to take part in a 3 months mini-trampoline exercise programme! This research is going to examine how a 3-months mini-trampoline exercise programme can improve overall fitness, bone density, and pelvic floor muscle functioning in older healthy women.
We are currently looking for post-menopausal women between the ages of 50-69 years old. The study will be carried out at Lower Hutt and Wellington locations. It involves three assessments testing physcial fitness, bone density, and pelvic floor muscle functioning (up to 1 hours for each assessment). You will also be able to take part in a 3 month mini-trampoline exercise programme within a group of 6 people. Participants will receive up to $100 in travel vouchers for taking part in the study.
For more information, or if you are interested in taking part, please contact me directly through a message here of through an email to: A.Fricke@massey.ac.nz!
Thanks

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
