Abstract

Infertility is a condition in which a woman is unable to achieve clinical pregnancy after engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse for more than 12 months. One of the causes is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a complex endocrine disorder and metabolic syndrome that is most common in reproductive-aged women. These two phenomena create a vicious cycle that leads to hormonal instability, ultimately resulting in infertility. PCOS can be managed through lifestyle changes, including aerobic exercise. Objective: The objective of this literature review is to explain the effects of aerobic exercise on metabolic parameters such as hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and anthropometric indicators in women with PCOS. Methods: This study used the literature review method. Articles were obtained from several online databases, and then screening was performed based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in the selection of 6 articles for review. Results: From the six reviewed articles, it was found that moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes per session, at least three days per week, for a duration of 16 weeks, can improve anthropometric indicators, increase insulin sensitivity, and reduce testosterone levels. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise can have an impact on improving PCOS symptoms when performed for at least 16 weeks, with a minimum of three days per week and a minimum of 30 minutes per day using moderate-intensity aerobic exercise.
