BackgroundExercise is recommended as a treatment for premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in clinical guidelines, but this is currently based on poor-quality trial evidence.AimTo systematically review the evidence for the effectiveness of exercise as a treatment for PMS.Design & settingThis systematic review searched eight major databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and two trial registries from inception until April 2019.MethodRandomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing exercise interventions of a minimum of 8-weeks duration with non-exercise comparator groups in women with PMS were included. Mean change scores for any continuous PMS outcome measure were extracted from eligible trials and standardised mean differences (SMDs) were calculated where possible. Random-effects meta-analysis of the effect of exercise on global PMS symptoms was the primary outcome. Secondary analyses examined the effects of exercise on predetermined clusters of psychological, physical, and behavioural symptoms.ResultsA total of 436 non-duplicate returns were screened, with 15 RCTs eligible for inclusion (n = 717). Seven trials contributed data to the primary outcome meta-analysis (n = 265); participants randomised to an exercise intervention reported reduced global PMS symptom scores (SMD = -1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI] = -1.88 to -0.29) versus comparator, but with substantial heterogeneity (I2 = 87%). Secondary results for psychological (SMD = -1.67; 95% CI = -2.38 to -0.96), physical (SMD = -1.62; 95% CI = -2.41 to -0.83) and behavioural (SMD = -1.94; 95% CI = -2.45 to -1.44) symptom groupings displayed similar findings. Most trials (87%) were considered at high risk of bias.ConclusionBased on current evidence, exercise may be an effective treatment for PMS, but some uncertainty remains.

“…About 5% of women the symptoms are so severe that they interfere with personal and social relationships or work. PMS symptoms were estimated that more than 80% of women report having at least one or more before menopause and the percentage of those who have definite syndrome is 20-40% (Pazoki et al, 2015;Tempel, 2001).…”

“…PMS which is defined by physical and behavioural symptoms is one of the most common disorders among women especially the younger one (Pazoki et al, 2015;Kim et al, 2004;Wittchen et al, 2002). PMS symptoms can be divided into two categories of physical changes (including headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, weightgain, and breast pain), and psychological symptoms and mood disorders (including depression, anger, anxiety, crying for no reason, and impaired daily functioning).…”

“…This disorder has reported the prevalence of this disorder among high school girls as 40% (Allahvendipour et al, 2010). According to the study conducted women with PMS compared to women without this syndrome, had more absent days from work and more days on which they had trouble with their homework (Bloch et al, 2000)There are several treatments to ameliorate or eliminate the symptoms such as nonpharmacological treatments (reduction in salt intake and animal fat consumption, physical activity and herbal medicine) and pharmacological treatments (mefenamic acid, gamma linoleic acid and fluoxetine) (Pazoki et al, 2015;Jarvis et al, 2008;Segebladh et al, 2009).The other study also examines that there are alternative prevention methods including diet and lifestyle changes including regular exercise, adequate sleep, and healthy balanced diet (Carey, 2012;Pinar et al, 2011;Siapco et al, 2014). A study found that soy product with high isoflavones level may alleviate PMS (Kim et al, 2006).…”

AbstrakSindrom premenstruasi (PMS) pada kelompok remaja adalah salah satu gangguan yang paling umum pada wanita pada usia reproduksi. Secara substansial mengurangi kualitas hidup bagi banyak wanita usia reproduksi, pengobatan menggunakan obat-obatan memiliki kemanjuran terbatas dan menimbulkan efek samping tertentu. Gaya hidup sehat, misalnya aktivitas fisik teratur dan asupan makanan tinggi kedelai telah direkomendasikan sebagai metode untuk mengurangi gejala PMS. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan aktivitas fisik dan asupan kedelai serta gejala PMS pada siswa perempuan Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan Negeri (SMKN) 10 Surabaya. Penelitian ini dirancang untuk menggambarkan tingkat aktivitas melalui metode recall 7x24 jam, asupan kedelai, dan gejala PMS pada siswa perempuan melalui wawancara menggunakan kuesioner terstruktur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa responden (n = 59) memiliki tingkat aktivitas fisik ringan (88,1%), tingkat asupan kedelai sedang (17,22-28,38 porsi per bulan), dan gejala PMS ringan (71,2%) . Berdasarkan hasil tabulasi silang menunjukkan bahwa responden yang memiliki aktivitas fisik ringan mengalami tingkat PMS sedang (8,6%), dan yang memiliki asupan makanan tinggi kedelai mengalami tingkat PMS sedang (8,5%). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut perlu dilakukan penelitian lanjutan dengan melihat hubungan antara aktivitas fisik, asupan makanan kedelai, dan gejala sindrom pramenstruasi agar hasilnya lebih jelas kemaknaannya. AbstractPremenstrual syndrome (PMS) in adolescents group is one of the most common disorder in woman at reproductive age. It substantially reduces quality of life for many women of reproductive age, with pharmaceutical treatments having limited efficacy and substantial side effects. A health lifestyle e.g. regular physical activity and high soy dietary intakes has been recommended as a method of reducing PMS symptoms. This study aims to describe the physical activity and high soy dietary intake and PMS symptoms in female students of Vocational High School 10 Surabaya. This study was designed to describe the activity level were 55 recalled in 7x24 hour, soy dietary intake, and severity of PMS symptoms in female students that was administrated by structured questionnaires. The result showed that of all participants (n=59) were defined as having light physical activity level (88.1%), moderate level of soy dietary intake (17.22-28.38 portions per month), and mild degree of PMS symptoms (71.2%). Based on crosstabulation showed that respondences who had light physical activity experienced moderate PMS degree (8.6%), and who had high soy dietary intake experienced moderate PMS degree (8.5%). This recommendation is based on relatively little evidence, and the relationship between physical activity, soy dietary intake, and premenstrual syndrome symptoms remains unclear.
