Dose-Response Effects of a 6-Week Progressive Resistance Training Program on Premenstrual Syndrome in Adolescent Girls
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Premenstrual Syndrome
In brief
This study examines the dose-response effects of a 6-week progressive resistance training program on premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in adolescent girls. PMS is a common condition that affects physical, psychological, and social well-being. While exercise is known to reduce symptoms, the optimal intensity of resistance training remains unclear. Using a randomized controlled trial design, participants are assigned to progressive or low-intensity training groups. PMS symptoms and quality of life are assessed over time. The study aims to determine whether higher exercise intensity leads to greater symptom reduction and improved overall well-being.
