Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of High intensity circuit training, Intermittent Fasting, and their combination on PCOS morphology, Anthropometrics, clinical hyperandrogenism and body image concerns in females with PCOS. Participants will be divided into three groups who will receive High intensity circuit training, Intermittent fasting and their combination. The outcomes will be PCOS morphology, anthropometrics', clinical hyperandrogenism and body image concerns.

- High Intensity circuit training (HICT)
- description
- For the group allocated with exercise, high intensity circuit training (HICT) of three supervised sessions per week for 20-30 mins will be given. HICT commenced after 10 mins low to moderate intensity warm up and after completing session ended with 10 mins cool down. Intensity of exercise will be measured on borg rating of perceived exertion (RPE). Perceived exertion is how hard you feel like your body is working. Although this is a subjective measure your exertion rating based on a 0 to 10 modified borg rating scale may provide a fairly good estimate of your actual heart rate during physical activity. 0 perceiving "no exertion at all" to 10 perceiving a "maximal exertion" of effort. A moderate intensity activity will be at 3-5 perceiving "somewhat hard", similarly 6-10 will be perceived as high intensity activity.

- description
- For the group allocated with intermittent fasting, a time restricted feeding (TRF) methodology will be administered. The Fasting protocol will begin with a 12-hour eating window (12:12) and will gradually go down to 8 hours eating window over a period of 8 weeks (16:8).
