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

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.
