PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS

Öz

Although the evidence continues to point to the benefits of exercise for those who experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS), there are a limited number of studies about premenstrual syndrome in physically active women in Turkey. This study aims to define premenstrual syndrome on a group of physically active university students with comparison of physically inactive students of the same age group. In this case control study 76 physical education students of Karamanoğlu Mehmet Bey University and 76 non-physical education students of Selcuk University as controls completed a questionnaire consisting of Premenstrual Syndrome Scale. Menarche age of the study population was 13.86±1.68 years. The PMS was detected in 81(53.3%) of all students, in 40 (52.6%) of physical education students and 41 (53.9%) of non-physical education students. The PMS percentage of groups were not different (p=0.87). Nervousness were significantly high in physical education students with irregular menses (p=0.04). Menarche age made no significant difference in PMS levels in all students (p>0.05) and physical education students except sleep changes (p=0.00). Contrary to some previous studies exercise seems to be ineffective in this study population in respect to PMS. Higher PMS Scores of physical education students may point a need to be more sensitive in this group.
