“…In accordance with ACSM guidelines, the online exercise intervention adhered to a gradually progressive program ( 29 ), which took place over 12 weeks. Exercise interventions of twelve-week durations have been shown to improve cardiorespiratory fitness in females of reproductive age with obesity ( 30 ). Participants were expected to attend three 45-min exercise sessions per week.…”

IntroductionModerate-to-high physical activity participation is associated with a reduced risk of infertility. Yet, exercise interventions that target cardiorespiratory fitness, independent of weight loss, are lacking in obesity and female fertility research.PurposeThe primary objective of the PRO-FIT-CARE (PROmoting FITness for CArdiometabolic & REproductive Health) study was to assess the feasibility of a moderate-to-high-intensity online exercise program for persons with obesity and female infertility.MethodsFeasibility, safety, acceptability, and efficacy were assessed by examining: (1) recruitment and consent rate, (2) study retention, (3) adverse events, (4) participant satisfaction, (5) adherence, and (6) cardiorespiratory fitness.ResultsEleven of thirty-two women contacted agreed to participate in the program (34.4% consent rate). Eight participants (72.7%) completed the study. One musculoskeletal injury was reported. There was a 30% adherence rate based on prescribed exercise intensity (60%–80% of heart rate maximum). One of eleven participants attended 80% of the exercise intervention. Based on a weekly satisfaction survey, the program had an overall high level of satisfaction. Compared to sex and age normative data, post-intervention, two of eight participants improved their cardiorespiratory fitness percentile rank.ConclusionThe study highlights challenges with adherence to an online exercise program. While the program was safe and participants reported high levels of program satisfaction, approaches to improve adherence must be incorporated.

Hypercholesterolemia is a global health concern, including in Indonesia, potentially leading to coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke if left untreated. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of bay leaf decoction and low-impact aerobic exercise on reducing blood cholesterol levels in patients. Used a quasi-experimental design with 120 participants, randomly assigned to two groups, the first group consumed bay leaf decoction (100 ml, twice daily for 7 days), while the second group underwent low-impact aerobic exercise (3 times a week for 7 days). Blood cholesterol levels were measured, and paired t-tests were employed for statistical analysis. Results revealed that both interventions significantly lowered cholesterol levels after 7 days (p<0.001 for bay leaf decoction and p=0.001 for low-impact aerobics). The bay leaf decoction group achieved the highest reduction at 25.3 mg/dl. In conclusion, this study highlights the potential of bay leaf decoction and low-impact aerobic exercise as non-pharmacological approaches to manage blood cholesterol levels. It reinforces the notion that these interventions can be valuable in addressing hypercholesterolemia.
