Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS)
The scale, which is widely used in the clinic, has 44 questions that women mark considering "the state of being in the period one week before menstruation". The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 44; the highest score is 220. In addition, PMS severity classes can be created according to the scores obtained from the scale. Accordingly, a score of 88 and above from PMSS indicates severe PMS symptoms, and a score below 88 indicates mild PMS symptoms. Individuals who scored 88 and above from the scale were included in our study.
at baseline and at week 8.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
VAS is a simple, practical, valid, reliable and repeatable measure that evaluates the pain felt by scoring it between 0-10. Participants were asked to score the pain intensity they felt between 0-10 for each of the abdominal region, lumbar region and general body pain.
at baseline and at week 8.
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
The PSQI questionnaire used to assess sleep quality includes 18 items for scoring. A total PSQI score between 0-4 indicates good sleep quality, and a score between 5-21 indicates poor sleep quality.
at baseline and at week 8.
Study Arms (2)
Group 1: Control group
NO INTERVENTIONParticipants in the first group were not subjected to any intervention and were asked not to participate in any exercise program for eight weeks.
Group 2: Calisthenic home exercise group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants in the second group were informed about calisthenic home exercise programs face to face and were asked to perform these exercises as home exercises for eight weeks.
Interventions
Participants in the second group were informed about calisthenic home exercise programs face to face and were asked to perform these exercises as home exercises for eight weeks.
