About

The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the effect of whole-body vibration to aerobic exercise on inflammatory status in females with premenstrual syndrome.

Full description

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a complex disorder characterized by moderate to severe symptoms taking place during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. It has a negative impact on females' lives, which can affect their relationships, educational efficiency, social activities, and quality of life. Despite previous studies reported that physical exercise improves the symptoms of PMS, the effects of physical exercise on inflammatory status in females with PMS are not clear yet. sixty females allocated to three groups randomly to group (A) that will receive whole-body vibration+supplementation, group (B) that will receive aerobic exercises+supplementation, and group c that will receive supplementation only
