Effects of continuous and intermittent aerobic physical training on hormonal and metabolic profile, and body composition in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A randomized controlled trial

Clinical Endocrinology Apr 19, 2020

Ribeiro VB, Kogure GS, Lopes IP, et al. - Researchers conducted this prospective, interventional, randomized study to assess the impacts of continuous (CA) and intermittent (IA) aerobic training on hormonal and metabolic parameters and body composition of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Study participants were divided into three groups: CAT (n = 28) and IAT (n = 29) training and no training [control (CG), n = 30]. Hormonal and metabolic parameters, body composition and anthropometric indices were assessed before and after 16 weeks of intervention (CAT or IAT) or observation (CG). Waist circumference (WC), hip circumference, cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein, and testosterone were reduced in the CA group. There was a reduction in WC, waist‐to‐hip ratio, testosterone, and the free androgen index (FAI) in the IAT group. The CG displayed increases in WC, total body mass, body fat percentage, total mass of the arms, trunk fat percentage, leg fat percentage, and total gynoid mass. CAT and IAT training decreased anthropometric indices and hyperandrogenism in PCOS, while the FAI was decreased only by IAT training. In addition, the lipid profile only improved with CAT training.
