Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of twelve weeks of aerobic exercise combined with vitamin D supplementation on serum levels of testosterone, insulin, and glucose in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Methods: The study population consisted of overweight and obese women with PCOS who were referred to the specialized Mothers Hospital in Tehran. Participants were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned into four groups (11 subjects in each): (1) control, (2) supplement, (3) aerobic training, and (4) aerobic training + supplement. The training program included 12 weeks of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, performed for 150 minutes per week. The supplement groups consumed a daily capsule of vitamin D (2000 mg). Serum levels of testosterone, insulin, and glucose were measured. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) at a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. Results: The findings showed that serum levels of testosterone, insulin, and glucose significantly decreased in the aerobic training, supplement, and aerobic training + supplement groups compared with the control group (p ≤ 0.05).
Conclusion: It appears that twelve weeks of aerobic training combined with vitamin D supplementation can be recommended as a cost-effective approach to reducing the complications and symptoms of PCOS.
