背景：
更年期是女性一生中必經的過程，因生理及荷爾蒙的變化，多數女性都會經歷更年期症狀，但其症狀的嚴重程度、性質和持續時間各不相同。一般來說婦女在進入正式更年期前大多會經歷環更年期，一般持續7年至14年之久，直到更年期完全絕經。此時期的荷爾蒙變化也會影響長期健康，因此透過運動訓練使環更年期婦女能有更好的健康狀況與減輕相關不適症狀，是有其必要性且必須被重視。
研究目的：
本研究透過配戴穿戴式裝置監測環更年期婦女的運動狀態，並從裝置取得之數據探討日常步數與日常安靜心率及睡眠心率對體適能之影響。
研究方法：
（1)受試者：本研究招募41位無運動習慣的環更年期婦女。（2）實驗設計：受試者配戴穿戴式裝置全時段且佩戴457天，每日以7000-12000不等的步行或慢跑介入，所得之全日心率及睡眠時段數據與體適能之相關影響。（3）統計方法：以以皮爾遜積差相關分析及多元迴歸分析清醒時安靜、睡眠安靜心率與步數之間的相關，以SPSS 18.0統計軟體進行分析。
結果:
每日步數與全日心率呈正相關，但與安靜心率及睡眠心率呈現負相關，進一步分析發現前1|、3及7日之步數與全日平均心率、安靜心率及睡眠心率均呈現顯著負相關關係
結論：
步行運動對還更年期婦女的心血管疾病及全死因死亡率有著潛在的預防效果，同時建議未來研究需進一步考量其他干擾變數的影響。

Introduction: Menopause delineates a pivotal phase in the life odyssey of every woman, universally encountered due to alterations in physiology and hormonal shifts. The intensity, duration, and nature of menopausal symptoms differ from individual to individual. Broadly speaking, women typically traverse a phase known as Perimenopause, spanning 7-14 years, prior to entering the full transition into Menopause. The long-term impact of hormonal fluctuations underscores the importance of exercise in mitigating discomfort and promoting overall health. Therefore, it cannot be overstated how crucial regular physical activity is in achieving a healthier state.
Aims: To track the exercise regimen of women in their Perimenopause phase, employing a Wearable Fitness Tracker can serve as a practical means of monitoring. Analyzing gadget data helps us see how walking impacts heart rates (average, during sleep, and at rest) for women in Perimenopause.
Methods:
Subjeect:41 women without any regular exercise habits was recruited for study. Design: Each participant was required to wear Wearable Fitness Trackers for 457 days and walk a daily range of 7000 to 12000 steps. This was done to evaluate the connection between heart rate and the number of steps taken. Statistical Analysis: Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the relations among varieties.
Result: The analysis reveals a positive correlation between daily steps and average heart rate. Conversely, daily steps show a negative correlation with both rest heart rate and sleep heart rate. Specifically, steps taken on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th days before exhibit negative correlations with heart rates (average, during sleep, and at rest) in further analysis.
Conclusion: Walking can help protect women in Perimenopause from heart problems and reduce the risk of overall mortality. Future studies should consider other factors that could influence these outcomes.
