Summary
Clomiphene citrate (CC) is the first-line therapy for infertile women with polycystic ovary
syndrome (PCOS). Unfortunately, at least 20% of PCOS results are not responsive to CC.
Structured exercise training (SET) and diet has been successfully employed to restore ovarian
function and to improve reproductive outcomes in obese and overweight women with PCOS. The
current study was aimed to test the hypothesis that a short-term SET program plus diet
intervention can improve the ovarian response to CC in CC-resistant PCOS patients.
