Abstract

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinal problem leading to improper, anovulatory menstrual cycle, moreover some individuals may begin to develop cysts. Other changes observed are weight gain, fatigue as well as feeling of low energy levels. These could partially be due to loss of sleep, infertility and skin problems. The current study aims to study the effect of PCOS on the functional capacity as predicted by aerobic capacity. Further the results will increase awareness about the capacity to undergo physical tasks and therefore the cardiovascular health. Twenty-six women participated in the current cross-sectional study, who were in the age group of 18–40 years, with body mass index between 18.5–24.9. The participants were divided into two groups those diagnosed with PCOS and those without it. The study infers that the women with diagnosis of PCOS brought no disparity in VO2max. This examination likewise signified that the PCOS diagnosis is not related with aerobic exercise capacity and it is anticipated that endurance exercise performance and the deduced effort required amid exercise do not have any distinction between both the groups.
