# Does aerobic exercise reduce PMS?

Yes, aerobic exercise was associated with a significant reduction in PMS symptoms. Scores dropped noticeably after the girls started exercising.

 Moderate study design

87 nursing students

## What they did

87 nursing students did aerobic exercise. PMS symptoms were measured before and after the exercise program.

## What they found

The average PMS score decreased from 11.49 before exercise to 6.78 after exercise.

## What it means for you

Aerobic exercise may help reduce PMS. The main limitation is that the study had no control group, so we cannot be sure the improvement was due to exercise alone rather than other changes.
