Effects of High Intensity Resistance and Aerobic Training Among Women With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating High intensity resistance Exercise Training and High intensity aerobic Exercise Training for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine female disorder, affecting 4-18% women of reproductive age. The prevalence of PCOS in South Asian women, especially in Pakistani women, is much higher (52%) as compared to white population (20 - 25% in UK). On the basis of cultural, environment, diet and lifestyle practices these women are more prone to development of such disorder. So such public health issue needs to be addressed by strong evidence conducted by a clinical trial. The current study is planned to compare effects of two different exercise protocols of high intensity on anthropometric measures, hormonal profile and quality of life.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The resistance training will consist of five resistance exercises (thrice a week on non-consecutive days): squat, leg press, knee extension, lunges, and abdominal crunches. Every participant will be assessed pre and post intervention for hormonal change, BMI/anthropometric measures, fasting glucose and quality of life.The plan will be followed for 12 weeks
The training protocol will begin with a 5-minute warm-up and will end with a 5-minute cool down, during which the HR will be 60-75% of the HRmax. At least 90 min of exercise per week for obese PCOS patients, with treadmill walking that may include whole-body movement involving more than 2/3 of the muscles, the exercise intensity will be high intensity
