Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of resistance training in water and land with vitamin D on anti-Mullerian hormone in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: Sixty women with PCOS (20 - 35 years old) referred to the Hafez Hospital in Shiraz in 2018 were selected and randomly divided into six groups of (1) control, (2) water training, (3) land training, (4) vitamin D, (5) water training with vitamin D, and (6) land training with vitamin D. Groups 2, 3, 5, and 6 performed resistance training in water and land for eight weeks, three sessions per week, while groups 4, 5 and 6 consumed vitamin D for eight weeks. For statistical analysis of data independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc tests were used (P ≤ 0.05). Results: Training in water and land have no significant effect on anti-Mullerian hormone (P ≥ 0.05); vitamin D, training in water with vitamin D, and training in land with vitamin D have significant effect on reduction of anti-Mullerian hormone (P = 0.001); training in water with vitamin D and training in land with vitamin D have more effect on reduction of anti-Mullerian hormone rather than vitamin D (P ≤ 0.05) and after training in water with vitamin D (P = 0.01) and training in land with vitamin D (P = 0.001) there is a significant relationship between anti-Mullerian hormone changes and weight. Conclusions: It appears that resistance training in water and land combined with vitamin D consumption may decrease the anti-Mullerian hormone by reduction in weight and as a result improve ovarian and reproductive function in women with PCOS.
