Abstract: Introduction: Perimenopause, the transitional phase leading up to menopause, is characterized by significant hormonal changes, which can result in various symptoms, including fatigue, irritability, hot flashes, and mood disturbances. These symptoms often exacerbate due to the social isolation and limited awareness faced by many housewives. Exercise, particularly circuit training combined with aerobic activities, has been shown to mitigate these symptoms by improving physical and psychological well - being. Methods: This study was conducted on 20 perimenopausal women aged 40 - 50 years from Ujjain city. Participants were selected based on a Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) score greater than 15 and other inclusion criteria. The intervention consisted of a 4 - month exercise program, with circuit training performed four times a week for the first two months, followed by aerobic exercises for the next two months. Fatigue and irritability levels were measured using validated scales before and after the intervention. Paired - samples t - tests were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean fatigue score significantly decreased from 26.60 (SD = 5.05) to 20.50 (SD = 4.73) post - intervention (t = 10.088, p < 0.001). Similarly, the mean irritability score showed a significant reduction from 20.20 (SD = 3.61) to 14.55 (SD = 3.00) after the 4 - month intervention (t = 10.115, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The study demonstrated that a structured exercise regimen comprising circuit training and aerobic exercises significantly reduced fatigue and irritability among perimenopausal women. These findings suggest that incorporating regular physical activity into the daily routine of perimenopausal women can alleviate common symptoms, improving their overall quality of life.
