Abstract
Objective: This study evaluates cardiovascular endurance, core endurance, body awareness, and the quality of life in normal-weight women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Materials and Methods: This study included a total of 101 normal-weight women (51 with and 50 without polycystic ovary syndrome). Cardiovascular endurance was evaluated with the 20-meter Shuttle Run test, and maximum oxygen consumption was calculated. Core endurance was evaluated with core stability tests, body awareness with the body awareness questionnaire, and the quality of life with short form-36. Blood lipids, glucose, insulin, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), hormonal profile, and high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterols were measured. Results: Maximum oxygen consumption, core endurance, body awareness questionnaire, and short form-36 results were lower in women with polycystic ovary syndrome than healthy women (p<0.05). There was a significant correlation between core endurance tests, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, maximum oxygen consumption, and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: When normal-weight women with polycystic ovary syndrome and control groups with similar androgen levels and body mass index profiles were compared, women with polycystic ovary syndrome had lower aerobic capacity and muscle endurance. This suggests that the adverse metabolic profile of polycystic ovary syndrome can limit physical function.Keywords
