ABSTRACT:

Background

There is evidence that exercise training positively affects on improvement of the pathogenic factors in women with PCOS. On the other hand, some studies reported similar effects of aerobic and resistance exercises or no effect of exercises on the improvement of the pathogenic factors. The aim of the current study was to perform a network meta-analysis of RCTs to evaluate the efficacy of exercises on body mass index (BMI), hormone concentrations, and regular menstruation in women with PCOS.

Methods
