“…Identifying modifiable risk factors, such as physical activity, is important to help improve premenstrual symptom severity in women who may not need or want a pharmacological remedy. However, unlike some prior studies [8,11–15,17,18], we did not find a lower prevalence of PMS or premenstrual symptoms in women who participated in high levels of physical activity compared to women who participated in lower levels or no physical activity. We also did not find that a relationship between physical activity and PMS was confounded by BMI.…”

IntroductionIt is estimated that up to 75% of premenopausal women experience at least one premenstrual symptom and 8–20% meet clinical criteria for premenstrual syndrome. Premenstrual syndrome substantially reduces quality of life for many women of reproductive age, with pharmaceutical treatments having limited efficacy and substantial side effects. Physical activity has been recommended as a method of reducing menstrual symptom severity. However, this recommendation is based on relatively little evidence, and the relationship between physical activity, premenstrual symptoms, and premenstrual syndrome remains unclear.MethodsWe evaluated the relationship between physical activity and premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual symptoms among 414 women aged 18–31. Usual premenstrual symptom experience was assessed with a modified version of the Calendar of Premenstrual Experiences. Total, physical, and affective premenstrual symptom scores were calculated for all participants. Eighty women met criteria for moderate-to-severe premenstrual syndrome, while 89 met control criteria. Physical activity, along with dietary and lifestyle factors, was assessed by self-report.ResultsPhysical activity was not significantly associated with total, affective, or physical premenstrual symptom score. Compared to the women with the lowest activity, women in tertiles 2 and 3 of activity, classified as metabolic equivalent task hours, had prevalence odds ratios for premenstrual syndrome of 1.5 (95% CI: 0.6–3.7) and 0.9 (95% CI: 0.4–2.4), respectively (p-value for trend = 0.85).ConclusionsWe found no association between physical activity and either premenstrual symptom scores or the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome.

“…Women diagnosed with PMS had a lower level of physical activity than healthy women. These results show that the practice of physical exercise can help with the prevention and/or treatment of PMS [27]. A similar result was found in the present study, with a higher intake of lipids by sedentary PMS women in the premenstrual period.…”

2017

To assess the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and the nutritional status of physically active and sedentary adult women. This case-control study included 60 women, aged 18 to 35 years, recruited from two fitness centers or from an outpatient nutrition clinic. Four evaluations were conducted, on the follicular and luteal phase in two months. Questionnaires were applied to collect information about the socioeconomic condition and PMS symptoms. Weight and height were measured to calculate body mass index. Electrical bioimpedance was used to determine body composition, and food consumption was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. The Student's t test and Chisquare test were applied to compare means and proportions between the groups. The occurrence of PMS was observed in 63.3% of women in the physically active group and 86.7% of participants in the sedentary group (p=0.074). Analysis of results relative to food consumption showed in the physically active group a low calorie consumption in 53.3% and 33.3% of the participants in the pre-and post-menstrual phases, respectively (p=0.039). In the sedentary group, a high calorie consumption was observed in 43.3% and 23.3% of the participants in the pre-and post-menstrual phases, respectively (p=0.007). The sedentary group presented carbohydrate consumption of 281.9 ± 61.1 grams and 252.1 ± 55.9 grams in the pre-and post-menstrual phases, respectively (p=0.001); increased consumption of lipids was also observed in these phases, 74.4 ± 23.4 grams 63.2 ± 19.4 grams, respectively (p=0.001). The results show that the sedentary group presents an increased frequency of PMS and increased consumption of calories, carbohydrates, lipids and sodium. In the physically active group there was association between reactance and fat percentage.

“…In a survey of 71 universities in the city of Juiz de Fora, Teixeira & Oliveira [3] tested the hypothesis of a correlation between the physical activity level (PAL) and the symptoms of PMS. They found that the more prevalent premenstrual symptoms were: nervous tension, irritability, crying, insomnia, anxiety, change in mood, headache and fatigue.…”

Introduction: Among the menstrual disorders of the female reproductive period, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Dysmenorrhea are the most prevalent. The intensity of the signs and symptoms in each of these conditions may compromise the physical, psychological and social well-being of the woman at the stage of the menstrual cycle. Objective: To compare the signs and symptoms of menstrual disorders in women who practice regular exercise or not. Methods: A cross-sectional study carried out on women who practice exercises regularly and sedentary women. The IPAQ questionnaires and the evaluation of signs and symptoms of dysmenorrhea and PMS were applied to non-sedentary and sedentary students from the Federal University of Sergipe, Campus Lagarto. Results: Both groups had similar data for mean age and the mean Body Mass Index (BMI), therefore, passive of comparison. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was significantly higher among sedentary women, 82% in the sedentary group and 46% in the non-sedentary group (p < 0.001), as well as some negative impacts on the psychological, social and physical state of both PMS and dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: The prevalence of signs and symptoms of dysmenorrhea was significantly higher in the Sedentary Group. Analyzing the behavior of PMS in relation to the practice of physical exercises, it was observed that the signs and symptoms of depressed mood, fatigue, difficulty to concentrate, lack of interest in social and home activities were more significant in the Sedentary Group.
