Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This RCT is aimed towards determining the effectiveness of exercises based intervention strategy involving high intensity interval training exercises in improving serum testosterone level, body fat composition and physical activity in hopes to provide a definitive exercise regime for the ever common symptoms of pcos. It will be based on the theory that exercise helps in decreasing testosterone level that in turn decrease high androgen levels in the body, exercise further decreases body fat composition (obesity is a common cause or manifestation of pcos).
