Abstract: (493 Views)
Introduction: Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders, the main factors of which are insulin resistance and obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic training on metabolic factors in women with PCOS.
Method: A systematic search of English and Farsi articles published in PubMed, Web of Science, Civilica, Scopus, Sid, and Magiran databases was conducted until April 2024. The present meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on metabolic factors in women with PCOS. The mean difference and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a random effect model. Heterogeneity was evaluated using the (I2) test. Publication bias was evaluated by visual analysis of the funnel plot and Egger's test.
Results: In total, 10 studies with 12 interventions and 460 women with PCOS were meta-analyzed. The results showed that aerobic exercise significantly reduced body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, and body fat percentage compared to the control group in women with PCOS (P<0.05). However, aerobic exercise did not significantly change glucose, insulin levels, and insulin resistance compared to the control group in women with PCOS (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The results of the present meta-analysis showed that aerobic training improved the metabolic status of patients with PCOS and these beneficial effects were not associated with changes in insulin resistance.
