Changes in cortisol awakening responses (CAR) in menopausal women through short-term marine healing retreat program with specific factors affecting each CAR parameter

This study investigated the factors affecting the cortisol awakening response (CAR) through a marine retreat-based healing program in which the anticipated stress of the participants could be controlled to some degree. Fifty-one menopausal women in their 50s and 60s were included, who performed yoga and Nordic walking for four days at an uncontaminated beach.本研究通过一项基于海滨疗养的康复干预方案，探究了影响皮质醇觉醒反应（cortisol awakening response, CAR）的相关因素，该方案可在一定程度上调控参与者的预期性应激。本研究纳入了51名50至60岁的绝经后女性，受试者于无污染海滩开展为期四天的瑜伽与北欧式健走活动。
