Abstract

Purpose: To relate pre menstrual syndrome and its symptoms intensity to aerobic exercise practice. Methods: Data were collected on Universidade Católica de Brasília through questionnaires answered by physical therapy students which were designated in three groups: GS composed by 30 sedentary women, GAE<10 composed by 25 physical activity practitioners for less than 10 months and GAE10 composed by 25 physical activity practitioners for 10 or more months. Results: It was verified and significative linear association on SPM prevalence between groups p=0,030. When compared between each group, it was statistically significative only between groups GS (21,25%) and GAE10 (8,75%), p=0,033. Symptoms mean showed statistically significant difference only between groups GS and GAE10, on symptoms “melancholy” (p=0,014) and “emotional lability” (p=0,039). Conclusion: There is positive relationship concerning aerobic physical exercise time and decrease on pre menstrual syndrome prevalence and intensity of any of its symptoms.
