Moderate Exercise Improves Lipoprotein Profile In PCOS – even w/o weight loss
Effects of exercise on lipoprotein particles in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. PURPOSE: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) commonly have insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is associated with marked abnormalities of lipoprotein size and subclass particle concentration. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a moderate-intensity exercise program without weight loss on…

Lifestyle changes that improve Insulin Resistance
Exercise Exercise training improves insulin sensitivity.19 Patients with suspected insulin resistance should be advised to increase their level of physical activity. Even regular, sustained, moderate increases in physical activity, such as daily walking, can substantially decrease insulin resistance.20 This is compatible with the standard recommendation that everyone should accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical…
