Abstract

Aims: Thisnarrative review aims to examine the effect of high intensity interval training (HIIT) for
prevention ofcardiometabolic disease in females with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Also,itaims to

protocol”,“Cardiometabolic Risk”, “Insulin Resistance (IR)” and “Metabolic syndrome”.Reviewed
literature was analyzed and summarizeddescriptively.
Results: HIIT can lower IR and improve metabolic syndrome when performed in regular basis.
Conclusion: HIIT is effective in prevention of cardiometabolic disease in polycystic ovarian females.
