Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder that impacts many women of the reproductive age worldwide. Depending on diagnostic criteria, this disorder affects ∼6% to 20% of reproductive aged women, with symptoms of PCO arise during the early pubertal years Pilates exercises are a set of specialized and combined exercises of both body and mind. Pilates lead to are markable decrease in body weight, BMI, lean body mass, and waist circumference in obese adults and this lead to decrease insulin resistance in obese PCO. Pilates exercises played an important role in improving physical fitness, body composition, metabolic disorders, and depression in women. It was reported that 30-45 min Pilates exercise could produce positive changes in energy expenditure, thus reducing body weight.

There is dearth of knowledge regarding the effect of weight loss interventions on Doppler parameters in obese PCOS females. Therefore, this study will be conducted to provide physiotherapists with a scientific updated knowledge, concerning effect of Pilates exercises on Doppler parameters in obese females with PCOS, aiming to normalize their Doppler parameters. This study may expand role of physiotherapy in woman's health.

Wapens en interventies

Deelnemersgroep / Arm
Interventie / Behandeling
Actieve vergelijker: Mediterranean diet group

The participants will receive Mediterranean diet program, for 8 weeks.
Ander: Mediterranean diet

Diet aimed to restrict the intake of sweets and foods containing trans fatty acids. The participants had a maximum carbohydrate intake of less than 20%, a maximum carbohydrate intake of 100 g throughout the day and an increased intake of protein and fat. Participants were advised to consume whole grain as a staple food, a high intake of extra virgin olive oil, vegetables (including green leafy vegetables, fruit, cereals, nuts, and legumes), moderate intake of fish and other meat, dairy products, and a low intake of eggs
Experimenteel: Mediterranean diet and Pilates exercise group

The participants will receive the same Mediterranean diet program, in addition to Pilates exercises, three times per week, for 8 weeks.
Ander: Mediterranean diet

Diet aimed to restrict the intake of sweets and foods containing trans fatty acids. The participants had a maximum carbohydrate intake of less than 20%, a maximum carbohydrate intake of 100 g throughout the day and an increased intake of protein and fat. Participants were advised to consume whole grain as a staple food, a high intake of extra virgin olive oil, vegetables (including green leafy vegetables, fruit, cereals, nuts, and legumes), moderate intake of fish and other meat, dairy products, and a low intake of eggs

Ander: Pilates exercise

It includes 5 Pilates exercises including bridge marching exercise, single-leg circles exercise, rolling like a ball exercise, plank to pike exercise, and side kneeling circles. The exercises will be performed 3 times per week for 8 weeks.

Wat meet het onderzoek?

Primaire uitkomstmaten

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Body weigh (kilograms)
Tijdsspanne: 8 weeks

Body weight will be measured by weight scale (kilograms) for all participants before and after treatment
8 weeks
Body height (meter)
Tijdsspanne: 8 weeks

The height will be measured by height scale in meters for all participants before and after treatment
8 weeks
Body mass index
Tijdsspanne: 8 weeks

Weight-height scale will be used to measure body weight and height of each female in both groups before and after the end of treatment procedures to calculate body mass index.
8 weeks
Waist-hip ratio
Tijdsspanne: 8 weeks

Tape measurement will be used to measure circumference of waist and hip for all participated females in both groups before and after the end of treatment procedures to calculate Waist-hip ratio.
8 weeks
Peak systolic velocity (PSV)
Tijdsspanne: 8 weeks

The colour Doppler ultrasound will be used to measure peak systolic velocity (PSV). PSV reflects the extent of vascular filling and blood supply.
8 weeks
end-diastolic velocity (EDV)
Tijdsspanne: 8 weeks

The colour Doppler ultrasound will be used to measure the end-diastolic velocity (EDV). EDV reflects the blood perfusion situation of the distal tissue and numerical drop shows shortage of distal blood supply.
8 weeks
Resistance index (RI)
Tijdsspanne: 8 weeks

The Colour Doppler ultrasound will be used to measure the resistance index (RI). RI will be calculated as difference between Peak systolic velocity (PSV) and end-diastolic velocity (EDV) divided by Peak systolic velocity (PSV). RI reflects impedance to blood flow, and lower values of RI and PI indicate higher blood flow.
8 weeks
Pulsatility index (PI)
Tijdsspanne: 8 weeks

The Colour Doppler ultrasound will be used to measure the Pulsatility index (PI). PI will be calculated as the difference between Peak systolic velocity (PSV) and end-diastolic velocity (EDV) divided by the mean maximum flow velocity. PI reflects impedance to blood flow, and lower values of RI and PI indicate higher blood flow.
8 weeks
Ovarian volume
Tijdsspanne: 8 weeks

The ovarian volume will be measured by the ultrasonography. it is one of the diagnostic criteria of polycystic ovarian syndrome (more than 10 ml).
8 weeks

Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)
Tijdsspanne: 8 weeks

It will be used to evaluate health-related quality of life for each participants in both groups before and after the treatment course. It is a 36 item-scale which covers two categories: physical component summary and mental component summary. Each item falls on a 0-100 scale. Higher values indicate better health.
