Brief Summary

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

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PCOS is a prevalent condition that is affecting adolescent girls now and has serious impacts on menstrual health and quality of life making them prone to early risk development for chronic metabolic diseases. The comparison between high intensity resistance and aerobic training would give results that which one is more effective in gaining benefits and better effects on overall health both physically(menstrual) as well as mentally that would eventually tell us about the quality of life of such patients.

After the initial screening process, the participants fulfilling the Roterdam criteria, willing to participate in the exercise trial will be recruited and then randomized to the allocated groups of either high intensity resistance or high intensity aerobics. At baseline, their anthropometrics measurements, LH/FSH ratios and fasting plasma glucose test will be done. Patient will be called thrice a week for 3 months for training. It is hypothesized that high intensity resistance or high intensity aerobics will improve anthropometric measures along with hormonal profile and quality of life.

Study Groups

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

High Intensity Resistance Training

This group will perform high intensity resistance training under supervised physiotherapist in a gym setting. The training load for the first 2 weeks will be 60%-75% of 1RM and increased to 75%-90% of 1RM the following weeks. Load would be increased if the participants will be able to perform 3 sets of 12 repetitions with that load.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

High intensity resistance Exercise Training

Intervention Type OTHER

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

High Intensity Aerobic Training

This group will perform aerobic training under supervision of a physical therapist in gym setting. To calculate exercise intensity, the HR will be maintained at 75-90% of the maximum (HRmax). 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
