Naina Tyagi Australian and New Zealand Obesity Society Annual Scientific Conference 2026

Naina Tyagi

Naina Tyagi is a PhD candidate at the Institute for Health and Sport, Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia. Her research focuses on women's metabolic health, particularly polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS, formerly known as PCOS), insulin resistance, inflammation and exercise interventions. Her doctoral research explores the relationship between insulin resistance and inflammation, alongside the potential benefits of exercise for women with PMOS. She has conducted a randomised controlled trial comparing home-based and laboratory-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT), with a focus on improving physical fitness, metabolic health and quality of life. Her research also includes a systematic review examining the effectiveness of home-based HIIT in adults. At ANZOS 2026, Naina will present findings from her clinical trial, exploring whether home-based HIIT could provide a feasible and accessible alternative to laboratory-based exercise for women with PMOS. Outside of her research, Naina enjoys spending quality time with her family and is an avid fan of medical dramas, which she can never seem to get enough of!
