Abstract
Purpose. To find out the effect of Mediterranean diet and exercise on weight reduction and their influences on insulin resistance in obese prediabetic postmenopausal women.
Methods. Randomized controlled trial. This study was carried out on 40 obese postmenopausal women with sedentary life and with insulin resistance. They were selected from Cairo University Medical Hospitals and divided randomly into two equal groups; group A, Diet group (n = 20), enrolled on a Mediterranean diet for 12 weeks and group B, Exercise group (n = 20), enrolled on exercise training for 12 weeks. For each patient the weight, height, body mass index (BMI), waist and hip circumferences and ratio and Hemoglobin A1c were estimated and recorded before and after intervention.
Results. After intervention, the Mediterranean diet and exercise groups showed significant weight reduction, lower BMI, waist and hip circumferences and ratio and HbA1c. However, there was significant differences between both groups. Mediterranean diet showed significant reduction in all weight parameters and HbA1c than exercise group.
Conclusion. The Mediterranean diet resulted in better weight reduction and improvement of insulin resistance than exercise in obese prediabetic postmenopausal women.
Key words:

Abstract
Background. Women of reproductive age suffer from an endocrine disorder called Polycystic Ovarian Syndromes (PCOS). It is basically related to metabolic disorders along with reproductive dysfunction. About 50-70% of women having PCOS suffer from Insulin Resistance (IR) which causes metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, hypertension, along with intolerance of glucose. Another harmful effect that occurred by PCOS is Hyperinsulinemia. Aim. This research is performed to contrast the effects of Sub Maximal Aerobic training (AE) Training with the Flexibility Exercises amongst Young – PCOS Population. Methods-24 PCOS diagnosed women were chosen. Centred on convenience sampling ‘12’ were on the AE group and the remaining 10 were on the flexibility group. Before and the end of the study, ‘22’ samples were screened with the homeostasis models assessment (HOMA) (Insulin), Ferriman-gallwey score, along with BMI. 3-5 times per week, AE of running or jogging was rendered to one group and flexibility exercises were rendered to the other group for 8 weeks and also audio-visual material used for reference. Results and conclusion. In the AE group, a small variation in the Insulin Resistance (IR) (p value = 0.0435) can well be seen as of the outcomes’ comparison. There is a considerable post-test difference in betwixt groups of HOMA-IR. Thus, to improve insulin sensitivity resistance, PA is recommended among the PCOS population.
