Progressive Resistance Training as Complementary Therapy for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Background: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is known to affect a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations associated with it are significant and include reproductive dysfunction. Many forms of physiotherapeutic interventions have been tried and tested to alleviate the symptoms. Currently, there are no studies that show a significant effect of resistance exercise and lifestyle modification as a combination to create an impact on the symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Purpose of the study: To study whether resistance exercises can alleviate the symptoms of PCOS in women of age 18-40 and compare the effectiveness of resistance exercise training in alleviating symptoms of PCOS over aerobic training and lifestyle modification. Study design: Randomized Controlled Trial Method: 78 individuals, aged 18-40, medically diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome were included in the study based on inclusion criteria with a randomized sampling technique. Women were randomly assigned into two groups. Group A (aerobic training and lifestyle modification) and Group B (resistance training). They all were given 4 weeks of treatment. Outcome measures included PCOSQ. Results: 78 patients were included. 39 patients to lifestyle modification and 39 patients to resistance training. At the end of 4 weeks, individuals of Group A and Group B had no significant difference in all together symptoms but weight and BMI were better managed in the group with Resistance training. Conclusion: The present study concludes that both the treatment groups had equal effectiveness in individuals with polycystic ovarian syndrome. However, the Body Mass Index and menstrual regularity were found to have a more significant positive effect in individuals with polycystic ovarian syndrome than in the group with aerobic exercise and lifestyle modification. Key words: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Body mass index, Aerobic exercises, Lifestyle modification, Resistance training

“…It is found that obesity commonly occur in women with PCOS, which may lead to decrease in strength, postural control and altered biomechanics of lower limbs. 12 Swiss ball exercises, through its activation of global and local core muscles, significantly improves the postural control of individuals with PCOS along with weight reduction. Physical activities demanding greater amplitude of joint motion may put excessive stress on the joints of those who are obese, and may be a major factor leading to non-compliance 12 .…”

“…Swiss ball exercises are found to be a better alternative which is safe for the joints, and also demands moderate physical exertion without loading joints to stress. A combined aerobic and Swiss ball exercise protocols help in muscle strengthening, preventing loss of lean muscle mass, reducing obesity, and improves disease-related hyperandrogenism and insulin sensitivity in PCOS 12 .…”

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common disorder seen in women at their reproductive age with a prevalence rate of 4 to 12%. Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism or chronic anovulation without any adrenal or pituitary conditions can be called as PCOS. Swiss ball exercises are found to be a better alternative which is safe for the joints, and also demands moderate physical exertion without loading joints to stress. A combined aerobic and Swiss ball exercise protocols help in muscle strengthening, preventing loss of lean muscle mass, reducing obesity, and improves disease-related hyperandrogenism and insulin sensitivity in PCOS. Aim & objective of the study:To analyze and understand the effect of swiss ball exercises along with aerobic exercises among college girls with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Data Analysis and Results:This study results shows that there is statistically significant improvement in the variables of Menorrhea Impact Score (MIS) pre and post mean values of 4.99 and 0.99 in subjects with p<0.05. Thus null hypothesis has been rejected and alternate hypothesis has been accepted for this study. Conclusion:The study is concluded that there is statistically significant improvement in Menorrhea Impact Questionnaire score in college girls in and around Madurai with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome after the intervention of Swiss Ball Exercises along with Aerobic Exercises Program for 6 weeks.

“…Por este motivo os medicamentos indutores de ovulação, como o citrato de clomifeno também são utilizados em mulheres com a síndrome. Os tratamentos estéticos também são úteis e ajudam a amenizar a expressão física do excesso de andrógenos, como o hirsutismo, alopecia e acne (Moura et al, 2011;Kogure;Reis, 2017).…”

O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar um levantamento da prevalência de casos da SOP entre discentes da Faculdade Santa Maria, da cidade de Cajazeiras, Paraíba, analisando o método diagnóstico, medidas terapêuticas empregadas e o caráter genético atribuído à síndrome. O presente estudo foi desenvolvido de acordo com o delineamento de uma pesquisa quantitativa do tipo transversal observacional descritiva. Foram selecionadas 50 acadêmicas de forma não probabilística intencional. Os dados foram coletados através da aplicação de um questionário contendo dez perguntas. A análise dos dados revelou uma porcentagem de 24% das entrevistadas com o distúrbio, além disso, o método diagnóstico mais utilizado em tais casos foi ultrassonografia da pelve, citado por 46,2% das mulheres com SOP, seguido do exame clínico, representado pelas alterações no ciclo menstrual, que foi relatado por 30,8% destas participantes. Todas as entrevistadas com a síndrome relataram fazer algum tipo de tratamento e a medida terapêutica mais empregada foi o uso de anticoncepcionais orais, seguido da adoção de um estilo de vida saudável. Nenhuma das entrevistadas fazia uso de medicamentos sensibilizantes à insulina. O sintoma clínico mais comum entre estas mulheres foi a alteração do ciclo menstrual, presente em 91,6% delas. A média de idade entre as mulheres com SOP foi de 20,50 anos. Proporcionalmente, mais mulheres que relataram ter familiares com SOP tinham SOP. Tal dado sugere a condição genética envolvida na etiopatogenia da mesma, que também pode ser influenciada por fatores ambientais.
