About this trial

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a digital rehabilitation-supported combined exercise program in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Participants aged 18-40 years will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a digital rehabilitation group, a face-to-face exercise group, and a physical activity counseling group. The intervention will last 8 weeks, with exercise performed three times per week. Outcomes will include DNA methylation, hormonal and metabolic parameters, anthropometric measurements, body composition, muscle strength, basal metabolic rate, physical activity level, quality of life, menstrual cycle regularity, exercise adherence and satisfaction.
