Insulin Sensitivity and Testosterone Response to Aerobic Exercise Versus Added Sugar Elimination in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Women
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise versus the effect of added sugar elimination on the insulin sensitivity and testosterone levels in females with polycystic ovarian syndrome via measuring the level of 6 hours fasting HOMA-IR and free testosterone before and after 3 months from starting the protocol. All patients were diagnosed as polycystic ovary syndrome with low insulin sensitivity levels

Interventions
aerobic exercise
exercise protocol was applied following these characteristics (frequency: 3-5 times /week along the whole study period, intensity: 60-70% of the maximal heart rate (220- age x 60/100), duration: 50 min including warming exercise movements in standing position, active phase in form of walking on a computerized treadmill and cooling down exercise movements performed in the seated position
added sugar elimination
specialized programme of eliminating all kinds of added sugar (all kinds of sugars that are not naturally occurring in natural foods
aerobic exercise and added sugar elimination
a specialized program of combining added sugar elimination protocols ( elimination of all kinds of added sugars and allowing only sugars naturally occurring in foods) combined with the same aerobic exercise protocol that applied following these characteristics (frequency: 3-5 times /week along the whole study period, intensity: 60-70% of the maximal heart rate (220- age x 60/100), duration: 50 min including warming exercise movements in standing position, active phase in form of walking on a computerized treadmill and cooling down exercise movements performed in the seated position
