Physical Activity and Cardiometabolic Health in Women With or Without Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (SCOPAP)

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Physical activity: Participants will participate to adapted physical activity, supervised by a professional

Study summary

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effects of a multidisciplinary intervention, including a targeted adapted physical activity program, on lipid oxidation during a walking exercise in women with overweight or obesity, with or without polycystic ovary syndrome. Specifically, the study aims to compare changes in lipid oxidation before and after the intervention between women with polycystic ovary syndrome and those without polycystic ovary syndrome.

The secondary objectives are to assess the impact of polycystic ovary syndrome on several physiological and metabolic parameters in women with overweight or obesity. These include: (i) resting energy metabolism; (ii) resting blood pressure and heart rate; (iii) energy expenditure, energy cost, and heart rate during a walking exercise; (iv) body composition, glycemic and lipid profiles, and circulating levels of sex hormones and adipokines; (v) movement behaviors; and (vi) physical fitness.

In addition, the effect of the multidisciplinary intervention, including the adapted physical activity program, will be evaluated on these same outcomes: (i) resting energy metabolism; (ii) resting blood pressure and heart rate; (iii) energy expenditure, energy cost, and heart rate during walking exercise; (iv) body composition, glycemic and lipid profiles, and concentrations of sex hormones and adipokines; (v) movement behaviors; and (vi) physical fitness, in women with overweight or obesity, with or without polycystic ovary syndrome.
