Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Hamilton Anxiety Rating scale (HAM-A)
The HAM-A was one of the first rating scales developed to measure the severity of anxiety symptoms, and is still widely used today in both clinical and research settings. The scale consists of 14 items, each defined by a series of symptoms, and measures both psychic anxiety (mental agitation and psychological distress) and somatic anxiety (physical complaints related to anxiety). Although the HAM-A remains widely used as an outcome measure in clinical trials. Each item is scored on a scale of 0 (not present) to 4 (severe), with a total score range of 0-56, where \<17 indicates mild severity, 18-24 mild to moderate severity and 25-30 moderate to severe. Reliability and concurrent validity of the HAM-A and its subscales were sufficient. The Cronbach's α of the Hamilton Anxiety Scale was 0.89
4th week
The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire (PCOSQ)
The PCOSQ consists of five domains, each relating to a common symptom of PCOS; body hair, emotions, infertility, menstrual problems and infertility. Each question on the PCOSQ is associated with a 7-point scale in which 7 represents optimal function and 1 the poorest function. All five PCOSQ dimensions were internally reliable with Cronbach's alpha scores ranging from 0.70 to 0.97. Intra-class correlation coefficients to evaluate test-retest reliability were high (range 0.89-0.95, P \< 0.001). All five PCOSQ dimensions were internally reliable with Cronbach's α scores ranging from 0.70 to 0.97. Construct validity was demonstrated by high correlations for PCOSQ (0.49 and 0.54)
4th week
The Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS)
The FIS was developed to assess the symptom of fatigue as part of an underlying chronic disease or condition. Daily Fatigue Impact Scale (D-FIS) consist of eight items that could be used for monitoring daily changes in fatigue. The test-retest reliability of FIS was good in terms of its cognitive, physical, and psychosocial subscales and total scores, with ICC values of 0.78, 0.73, 0.80, and 0.83, respectively

Study Arms (2)
TRADITIONAL MODERATE INTENSITY TRAINING
EXPERIMENTALHIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING
ACTIVE COMPARATORInterventions
It consists of patients who will receive High-intensity interval training, including running as well as walking at 80% to 95% HR peak. Which is monitored by a smart watch. Before starting treatment, it follows a 10-minute warm-up exercise which includes basic stretches (Quads, Hams, and calf muscles) with a 30-second hold of both legs and same exercise will be pursued for the cool-down period. This intervention will be performed 5 days per week for 4 weeks. The total duration of this session will be 50 minutes
