| Introduction: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Exercise is a therapeutic strategy to improve vascular function and reduce patient mortality. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of eight weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on serum levels of VCAM-1 and E-selectins in women with PCOS. Materials and Methods: Thirty females with PCOS aged between 18 and 40 years were randomly categorized into an HIIT group and a control group. The HIIT program was administered three sessions a week for eight weeks. Serum levels of VCAM-1 and E-selectins were measured before and after the intervention after an overnight fast of 10 h. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 23). Results: After the intervention, a significant difference was observed in serum E-selectin levels in the HIIT group (p=0.037) compared to the control group (P>0.05). However, no significant changes were observed in serum VCAM-1 levels in the HIIT group after the intervention (P≥0.05). Conclusion: The findings demonstrated that eight weeks of HIIT could improve endothelial function in women with PCOS. |
