Effects of Physical Activity on Fertility Parameters: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Augmented adiposity may negatively impact sexual sphere through its metabolic effects and its detrimental impact on reproductive hormones. Moreover, a dysregulated metabolic pathway may promote apoptosis among spermatogenic cells. Based on these premises, a relation between weights loss and ameliorate semen parameters seems beneficial. To investigate if physical activity may affect semen parameters and fertility rate, a systematic literature search on major dataset has been performed.

Materials and methods

The search terms included: "Assisted reproduction therapies," "fertility," "semen parameters," "sperm parameters," and "physical activity." This analysis was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines an
