An estimated one in every ten women in the UK has polycystic ovarian syndrome, otherwise known as PCOS. While it's a great thing that the women's health condition is finally being talked about more openly, alongside greater awareness inevitably comes a lot of noise about what the condition is and what lifestyle tweaks can help with symptoms (TikTok, we're looking at you).
One thing we do know for certain is that exercise is almost universally beneficial, with research like this study, published in the journal Frontiers in Physiology, consistently showing that exercise is linked to improved health outcomes in women with PCOS. Helpfully, research such as this has helped to move the conversation along from simply advising us to lose fat (easier said than done, and certainly not a cure-all) to embracing other lifestyle interventions in our quest for relief.
