Abstract
Objective. To examine the influence of a medium-impact exercise program (MIEP) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL)
and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2 max) in females with subclinical hypothyroidism (sHT). Materials and Methods. We selected 17
sedentary women with sHT (mean age: 43.1 (standard deviation: 9.7) years). Participants carried out anMIEP consisting of 3 weekly
sessions of 60 minutes during 12 weeks. Before and after the exercise program HRQoL was assessed by the SF-12v2 questionnaire,
and VO2 max was evaluated by Rockport walk test. Results. After the 12-week intervention, the participants that performed an MIEP
showed improvements in HRQoL inmost domains, particularly the vitality domain by 7 points, the social functioning domain by 10
points, the mental health domain by 7 points, and the mental component summary by 7 points. One of the four domains within the
physical component summary (general health domain) showed significant effect of the exercise intervention: 6 points. Moreover,
the participants that performed exercise showed a higher VO2 max (28%; 𝑃 < 0.01). Conclusion. After 12 weeks of medium-impact
exercise program, there were remarkable improvements in HRQoL in most domains. Moreover, this exercise program proved to
have a positive influence on cardiorespiratory fitness.
