Brief Summary   Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine condition that affects many women and presents with a range of symptoms and consequences. Lifestyle modification is emphasized as the main early therapeutic strategy in the management of PCOS as mentioned in “The International Evidence-Based Guideline for the assessment and management of PCOS” published in the year 2023. Though lifestyle management reportedly has many benefits and is a cost-effective method, the adherence to lifestyle management (exercise and diet) is found to be low in both diseased and non-diseased population. So, this study is focusing on impact of exercise adherence strategies to improve the adherence levels (i.e. overcoming barriers) and facilitate adherence to exercise interventions in women with PCOS. This study identifies and tests the possible strategies to combat barriers to exercise participation and adherence. Patients referred to OBG physiotherapy department from obstetrics and gynaecology department of SDM college of medical sciences and hospital, Dharwad and Alternately those directly consulting the OBG physiotherapy department, SDM college of medical sciences and hospital, Dharwad will be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients who fulfil the criteria will be provided with the requisite details about the study procedure. Patients who are willing to participate and have given consent for the same will be recruited for the study. The participants signed consent will be obtained and a copy of the information sheet will be shared. Study procedure will be explained to the participants. The details of the participants will be documented. Randomization and allocation will be done using SNOSE method and participants will be assigned to experimental and control group accordingly. The assessment of the participants will be done and findings will be recorded. The participants will be given intervention and called for follow up for every 15 days for a period of three months and re-assessment and progression to exercises will be done and their compliance calendar will be checked and number of sessions completed will be recorded. Required support will be provided to continue the programme. After 3 months post intervention assessment will be done and findings will be recorded. Data so collected will be analysed statistically.
