Improving Reproductive Function in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome by High Intensity Interval Training: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 64 (actual)
• Sponsor: Norwegian University of Science and Technology · Academic / Other
• Sex: Female
• Age: 18 Years – 45 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The aim is to investigate whether 16 weeks of high intensity interval training, followed by 36 weeks of home-based exercise, will improve menstrual frequency in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) compared with a non-exercising control group.

Conditions

• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	4x4 minutes high intensity interval training	Treadmill running/walking with 10 minutes varm-up at 60-70% of maximum heart rate, 4x4 minute intervals at 90-95% of maximum heart rate separated by 3-minutes active pauses at 60-70% of maximum heart rate, and 3 minutes cool-down.
BEHAVIORAL	10x1 minute high intensity interval training	Treadmill running/walking with 10 minutes varm-up at 60-70% of maximum heart rate, ten 1-minute intervals at maximal intensity (that can be performed for one minute), separated by 1-minutes active pauses at 60-70% of maximum heart rate, and 3 minutes cool-down.
