Why the study?

Does supervised progressive aerobic exercise training improve health-related quality of life, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cardiometabolic profile in overweight/obese women with PCOS?

Structured PICO

Does supervised progressive aerobic exercise training improve health-related quality of life, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cardiometabolic profile in overweight/obese women with PCOS?

Population

27 overweight/obese inactive women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m², age 18 to 34 years

Intervention

Supervised progressive aerobic exercise training performed three times per week (~150 min/wk) over 16 weeks

Comparator

Control group

Outcome

Health-related quality of life (HRQL), cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiometabolic profile, and affective response evaluated before and after the 16-week interventionpatient reported

Supervised progressive aerobic exercise training significantly improves cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiometabolic profile, and quality of life in overweight and obese women with PCOS.
