abstract={<b>Background:</b> Infertility appeared to be influenced by several PCOS comorbidities. Obesity and insulin resistance in particular were independently linked to lower pregnancy and live birth rates, as well as a higher risk of abortion. <b>Aim:</b> investigate the effect of physical activity habit modifications on gynecological features among studied infertile overweight and polycystic ovary syndrome. <b>Subjects and Methods:</b> A quasi-experimental design at Beni-Suef University Hospital's gynecological and infertility clinics; a purposive sample of 116 women with polycystic ovary syndrome, overweight, and obesity, was selected.

This tool assessed the frequency and duration of job-related, daily life, and leisure activities. <b>Results:</b> reveals that 87.5% of Mild Physical Activity of the study group women has duration of menstrual cycle of less than 3 days (hypomenorrhea before intervention. Compared to 68% of moderate physical activity had a normal duration of the menstrual cycle of 3-5 days after the intervention. About 93.6%, of Mild Physical Activity (sedentary lifestyle) of the study group women have an irregular cycle before intervention.
