This study aims to evaluate how a structured callisthenic exercise protocol influences body measurements and quality of life in women with PCOS.
Pre-post experimental design conducted at a tertiary care center.
Thirty women with PCOS, aged 18–35, completed 5 sessions of callisthenic exercise weekly for 6 weeks.
Measured body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, and health-related quality of life at baseline and after intervention.
BMI decreased from 24.98 kg/m² to 24.29 kg/m² (P = 0.004).
WHR reduced from 0.86 to 0.83 (P < 0.05).
Health-related quality of life improved significantly as assessed by PCOSQ-26 (P < 0.05).
