Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal disorder affecting many women during their
reproductive years. It is characterized by enlarged ovaries with irregular function, elevated androgen levels, and insulin
resistance. Symptoms commonly seen in females with PCOS include cravings for sugary foods, frequent urination, slow
wound healing, fatigue, blurred vision, tingling sensations, mood swings, anxiety, depression episodes, pelvic pain, fever,
nausea, vomiting, urinary issues, and constipation. Insulin resistance and obesity often lead to reduced physical fitness.
However, hyperandrogenism, a hallmark of PCOS, can potentially enhance aspects of physical fitness such as muscle
strength and cardiovascular endurance in case of healthy individuals, it is also adversely affecting in case of PCOS females.
Research has shown that higher levels of insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism and obesity are associated with decreased
cardiovascular and muscular endurance, as well as compromised body balance and flexibility. Hyperandrogenism also
increases body fat percentage and BMI, contributing to reduced body balance and flexibility. Our study aimed to investigate
how PCOS impacts cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, balance, and flexibility in young adult women aged 18-
30 years.
