The subjects were 34 climacteric women of 45 to 55 years olds (M=49.91 years, SD=3 years) at the stages of natural menopause (M=49.83 years, SD=2.56 years). The exercise training contained 3 times a week, 50 to 60 minutes each session and lasted for 24 weeks. Each session was consisted of 5-10 minutes warming up, 30-40 minutes aerobic exercise, and 5-10 minutes cool down. The intensity of aerobic exercise was low to moderate, about 55-75% maximal heart rate. The Greene Climacteric Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used to evaluate physical symptoms and sleep quality respectively before and after training program. The collected data were analyzed by Independent t test, Pearson's product-moment correlation, the significant level was a=.05. The results of this study were as followed: 1. The physical symptoms was significantly improved (P＜.05) after 24 weeks of training. In addition, the whole sleep quality, the subjective recognition of sleep quality, the sleep incubation period, sleep hours, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances and day function limitation were significantly improved (P＜.05). 2.
