Weight control is particularly crucial in significantly reducing the risk of T2D and IR in women with PCOS. Therefore, exercise should be included in the treatment of PCOS patients. Also, vigorous-intensity exercise (such as HIIT) is most effective for improving insulin sensitivity and metabolic outcomes in PCOS patients.</div></div><div><h3>Objectif</h3><div>L’insulinorésistance (IR) est une maladie endocrinienne étroitement liée au syndrome des ovaires polykystiques (SOPK).
