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.
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.
