This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether aerobic exercise or Jacobson's progressive relaxation technique—a guided method to release muscle tension—can reduce menstrual pain and fatigue in young women. Both groups will also do core muscle strengthening exercises. The study will measure changes in pain levels, tiredness, and overall quality of life over 8 weeks.
Menstrual pain affects half to nearly all women at some point, but many would prefer non-medication options. This trial is designed to see which of these two accessible, low-risk approaches works better to help women feel less pain and fatigue during their period.

You will attend sessions 3 times per week for 8 weeks at one of two school locations in Lahore. One group will do aerobic exercise (like walking, jogging, or dancing), while the other group will learn and practice Jacobson's progressive relaxation—a technique where you tense and release different muscle groups to reduce tension. Both groups will also do core strengthening exercises together. You'll complete simple questionnaires about your pain, fatigue, and quality of life at the start and after 8 weeks.
