Resistance Exercise Impacts Lean Muscle Mass in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Abstract: To our knowledge, this is the first report to show that resistance exercise alone can improve hyperandrogenism, reproductive function, and body composition by decreasing visceral fat and increasing LMM, but it has no metabolic impact on women with PCOS.

“…Twenty weeks of aerobic compared with combined exercise, along with a high‐protein diet, showed similarly improved PCOS features 52,54–56 . Small RCTs and high‐quality mechanistic studies (cohort and case control studies) show physical activity, including formal exercise (aerobic and muscle strengthening) that improves body composition and clinical features, 52,54–66 compared with minimal or no interventions. These benefits occur independent of significant weight loss and can occur with exercise alone 57,67 …”

“…28 In the present study, there was a reduction of total blood testosterone levels in the PCOS group and the control group, as previously demonstrated. 29,30 High-intensity force training is known to increase testosterone concentrations as an acute response. 31 However, other studies demonstrated that RET causes a significant reduction in the level of the androgen receptor in certain muscle groups.…”
