AEROBIC EXERCISE PROGRAM ON THE INTENSITY OF PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: One of the psychosomatic problems related to female reproductive performance is premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and it may cause a decrease in educational status. Exercise as one of the treatment procedures can effect on andorphines secretion and reduce PMS. The aim of this r...
