Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Pharmacology & Pharmacotherapeutics (IJRPP) - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Menstrual distress is a hindrance that curtails the quality of life, especially among the adolescent period where the effects are at its peak which resolves as they ovulate progressively. The purpose is to reduce the menstrual distress among adolescent girls by motivating them to rely on aerobic exercises as a routine practice to cope up with monthly menstrual issues. A quantitative study was conducted with the objectives to assess the effectiveness of aerobic exercises when instructed a week prior to menstrual cycle on the level of menstrual distress among adolescent girls between the age group of 18 and 20 years. Sample size of 60 adolescent girls were selected with 30 each in study and control group by stratified sampling. The study findings revealed that the mean score of menstrual distress after aerobic exercises were (62.63) in posttest 1 (on the 2nd menstrual day) and (40.77) in posttest 2 (on 5th menstrual day) which was lesser than the score before aerobic exercises (84.10). This clearly signifies a decrease in menstrual distress among adolescent girls with dysmenorrhoea, who practices regular aerobic exercises. There was no significant association of menstrual distress and selected demographic variables, but there was an association found between menstrual distress and duration of menstrual flow at the level of (p< 0.05).
