The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of whole body vibration on insulin resistance in females with polycystic ovarian syndrome
polycystic ovarian syndrome is a complex endocrine condition characterized by metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance, excess weight or obesity, diabetes, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.Despite previous studies reported that physical exercise improves insulin resistance in females with polycystic ovarian syndrome, there is no study yet investigate the effect of whole body vibration on insulin resistance

the patients will stand on whole body vibration device with maintaining squatting position while keeping their trunk extended. The first training session will be consisted of three sets of 1 min and will be separated by a 1-min of standing rest. intensity will 1 mm. Then one set will be added every session
Females will be asked to perform moderate intensity aerobic exercise for 45 minutes for 3 times per week for 8 weeks

Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA-IR)
Estimate insulin resistance (IR), it will be calculated according to the formula: fasting insulin (microU/L) x fasting glucose (nmol/L)/22.5.
