Brief summary: This study evaluates the effect of Physical Training and Supplementation of Isoflavone About Pelvic Floor Musculature in Women in the Postmenopausal period, and it has two groups the intervetion.

Detailed description: The practice of physical exercise and isoflavone supplementation are ways of treating symptoms of climacteric, there is a lack of evidence as to whether these therapeutics when associated are useful for improving the strength, function, contraction pressure, electrical activity of the pelvic floor musculature of women in the Postmenopausal period.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Healthy postmenopausal woman
* to be able to practice exercises on treadmill and weight exercises
* without physical complications that prevent the execution of physical exercises
* have no history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, renal pathologies or hypertension
* Present ability to contract the pelvic floor muscles

Exclusion Criteria:

* Smokers
* Use hormone therapy or isoflavone
* Use drugs that interfere with lipid and antihypertensive metabolism
* Presence of cognitive impairment or neurological condition that could affect muscle activation
* Present urinary tract infection at the time of data collection
* Training pelvic floor muscle
