Abstract: An estimated 80-90% of menstruating individuals experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and up to 95% experience symptoms that may limit daily activities. There are a wide range of treatment options ranging from over-the-counter medications, prescription medication and hormonal birth control, all of which could have adverse effects. The purpose of this study is to assess if physical activity could help reduce PMS symptoms. Across three studies, all with different types of physical activity, there was a significant improvement in PMS symptoms compared to a control group. Physical activity has shown to be an effective intervention for symptoms associated with PMS.
