Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim is to investigate whether strength training or high intensity interval training is effective in improving insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular outcomes, body composition and reproductive outcomes in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

Few studies have examined the effect of strength training alone on insulin sensitivity, reproductive outcomes and body composition in women with PCOS. Most previous studies on aerobic exercise in PCOS have applied moderate exercise intensity.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

strength training

The subjects will attend for supervised training three sessions per week for 10 weeks (9-12). The strength training program involves dynamic contraction at intensities of 60 - 70 % of 1 repetition maximum (RM) to improve strength and muscle hypertrophy. Each session will contain 8 exercises on the major muscle groups. Each drill consists of 10-12 repetitions (reps) x 3 sets separated by one minute rest between sets.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

strength training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

interval training

High intensity interval training (HIT) three times per week. The three weekly supervised HIT sessions will include two 4x4 min interval sessions and one 10x1 min session. The HIT consist of "uphill" treadmill running/walking.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

control

Based on the Norwegian recommendation we will encourage the control group to perform 60 minutes of physical activity at moderate to high intensity on a daily basis.
