Premenstrual Syndrome and Physical Activity Self-Worth
Condition: Premenstrual Syndrome
MeSH terms: Syndrome; Premenstrual Syndrome
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Summary: 
      Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) negatively affects the quality of life of millions of women. PMS
      is a common cyclic disorder characterized by somatic, cognitive, emotional and behavioral
      symptoms that usually occurs in young and middle-aged women, lasts during the luteal phase of
      the menstrual cycle and ends with the onset of menstruation.Studies have shown that women
      with high PMS symptoms are more inactive. Physical activity participation in women affects a
      wide spectrum of self-perceptions, including knowledge, social, and emotional
      self-perceptions. By determining which physical, emotional, social and academic/knowledge
      areas are affected by women, increasing their participation in physical activity can be
      achieved. The subject of the study is to determine the symptom severity of women with and
      without premenstrual syndrome and to examine how premenstrual syndrome affects physical
      activity self-worth.
