High Intensity Resistance and Aerobic Training Among Women With PCOS

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.
