Abstract

Background: Sleep problems also occur in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) of normal weight. Furthermore, PCOS and sleep disturbances are linked with worsening of cardiometabolic health in the long term.

Objective: The study aimed to determine the effect of strengthening exercises on sleep quality among females suffering from PCOS.

Materials and methods: Twenty-four female participants aged 20-45 years suffering from PCOS from at least 1 year with body mass index of 18.5-29.9 kg/m² and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score ≥5 were randomized into experimental (n = 12) and control (n = 12) groups; allocation (1:1). The participants were blinded. Experimental group received strengthening exercises thrice per week for 4 weeks, and no intervention was given in control group. Sleep quality was assessed using PSQI.

Results: The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed significant improvements (P < 0.05) in sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, and global score with strengthening exercises. Mann-Whitney U-test revealed significant improvements (P < 0.05) in use of medication (P = 0.016) and global score (P = 0.045).

Conclusion: Four weeks of strengthening exercises has significant benefits in improving the sleep quality among females with PCOS.

加强锻炼对多囊卵巢综合征女性睡眠质量的影响：随机对照试验

背景：体重正常但患有多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）的女性也会出现睡眠问题。此外，从长远来看，多囊卵巢综合征和睡眠障碍与心脏代谢健康的恶化有关：研究旨在确定加强锻炼对多囊卵巢综合症女性睡眠质量的影响：24名年龄在20-45岁之间、患有多囊卵巢综合征至少1年、体重指数在18.5-29.9 kg/m2之间、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）≥5分的女性参与者被随机分为实验组（n = 12）和对照组（n = 12）；分配比例为1:1。参与者均为盲人。实验组每周进行三次强化训练，为期 4 周；对照组不进行任何干预。睡眠质量采用 PSQI 进行评估：Wilcoxon符号秩检验显示，通过强化训练，实验组的睡眠质量、睡眠潜伏期、睡眠效率、睡眠障碍和综合评分均有显著改善（P < 0.05）。曼-惠特尼 U 检验显示，药物使用（P = 0.016）和总体评分（P = 0.045）均有明显改善（P < 0.05）：结论：为期四周的强化训练对改善多囊卵巢综合症女性的睡眠质量有明显的益处。
