Subject of the study:~Examination of premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhoea treatment results with aerobic Aviva exercises.~Method of the study:~2 month-long,non-randomized, non-blind, prospective, interventional real-time comparative examination performed with the participation of volunteers.~Questionnaires:~PRISM calendar: Prospective Record of the Impact and Severity of Menstrual Symptoms (Reid, 1995).

Journal of Personality Assessment, 53(4), 802-815~Examination to measure the intensity of menstrual pain: Numeric Rating Scale~Heart rate monitoring and documentation before and after the exercises; completion of the Borg Scale of Perceived Exertion to measure exercise intensity;~Questionnaire of life style~Beck depression questionnaire~Ultrasound examination:~After 1months of doing the Aviva exercises, ultrasound measurements are performed in Robert Hospital (Budapest) on the patients participating in the study. The first measurement is performed for each person before starting the exercises. When the first subject has finished the exercise, a control ultrasound measurement will be carried out.~In the control group there is also twice ultrasound examination for the individuals.~Measured parameters: PI (pulsatility index) of uterine artery transvaginal ultrasound measurement followed by statistical evaluation of the results.
