Now a days Aerobic Exercise programs has been widely used as non-pharmacological means of treating pain disorders. This study intends to determine the effects of high intensity aerobic training on pain intensity, dysmenorrhea symptoms and quality of life of young girls having primary dysmenorrhea.
This study is a Randomized Control Trial, which will be conducted in Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University (Department of Rehabilitation Sciences). the calculated Sample size is 24 individuals using Epitool with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) and power 80%. Individual will be screened out according to inclusion criteria. Individuals will be allocated randomly into two groups, 12 in High Intensity Aerobic training group and 12 in Low Intensity Aerobic Training group by sealed envelope method. High Intensity Aerobic Training will be use in experimental group. Low Intensity Aerobic Training will be used in Control group. Assessment will be done on baseline day 1 prior to the intervention and after 8 weeks of training.
