PCOS Exercise Physiology

Meaning

PCOS Exercise Physiology is the specialized clinical understanding of how physical activity affects the complex hormonal and metabolic dysfunctions characteristic of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, particularly insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism. This field focuses on designing specific exercise protocols that optimize glucose uptake, improve insulin sensitivity, and mitigate the inflammatory and cardiovascular risks associated with the condition. The proper application of exercise is a cornerstone of non-pharmacological management for PCOS. It acknowledges the unique metabolic demands and physiological limitations of the condition.
