Tailored exercise may boost fat burning in women with PCOS

NCT ID NCT07659392

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether a supervised, adapted physical activity program can improve how the body burns fat during walking in women with overweight or obesity, both with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Researchers will compare changes in fat oxidation and other health measures—like blood pressure, body composition, and fitness—between the two groups. The goal is to understand how PCOS affects metabolism and whether targeted exercise can help manage cardiometabolic risks.
