The subjects were grouped randomly to three consisting of "running group" (n= ) "walking group" (n= ) and "control group" (n= ). Having finished the reexamining stage, filling the premenstrual syndrome questionnaire and gaining the primary results, the running group did aerobic running for weeks and sessions each week, each session lasting min. The maximum heart rate was percent. The walking group for weeks walked min each day for sessions in each week at normal, fast and slow paces. The control group did not do exercises. Having finished the second stage, the examinees filled the premenstrual syndrome questionnaire after weeks for the second time and after weeks for the third time. To analyze the data used for ANOVA and Tukey test at the level of . The results showed, there was a great decrease in the physical and mental symptoms of PMS of the walking group and only in the physical symptoms they were the same for the running group. Comparing the results of the running group with those of the walking group and control group there was a great decrease in the physical symptoms of PMS.

This semi-experimental study was conducted as post- test and pre-test by control groups. Statistical population included women who had referred to 3 Rafsanjan city pregnancy clinics in May 2009. The sampling method was "step by step" random sampling so after random choice of one clinic, from among women who referred to this clinic, 50 women were selected as available sample and then 20 of them, who acquired the highest score by the Questionnaires for Estimating PMS, were selected as final sample and were randomly separated into two equal groups. Data gathered by General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and Questionnaires for Estimating PMS Symptoms. The women of interventional group took part in 90-minutes training program for 8 sessions. Post–test scores recorded and data analyzed by co-variance test using SPSS-16 software. The data from two groups showed that the mean scores of post-test anxiety (P < 0.05) significantly decreased in the experimental group compared to the control group. The results also showed that the mean scores of post-test of somatic symptoms in experimental group did not decrease significantly. Manuscript profile
