ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how two different types of exercise—sprint interval training (SIT) and aerobic exercise—affect women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that can cause irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, and other health issues. The goal is to see which exercise method is better at improving health markers, including body mass index (BMI) and overall quality of life for those with PCOS. Women aged 18 to 35 who have been diagnosed with PCOS and have a BMI of 25 or higher may be eligible to participate.

Participants in the trial will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will do SIT, which involves short bursts of intense cycling followed by rest, three times a week. The other group will engage in moderate-intensity aerobic exercises like cycling or treadmill walking for the same duration. Throughout the study, researchers will measure changes in health markers and quality of life to determine the effects of each exercise type. This trial is important as it aims to provide better exercise recommendations for women with PCOS, which could help improve their health and well-being.
