Dysmenorrhea consists in hypogastric pain in severe colic when menstruation occurs. This research aims to describe the influence of physical activity on dysmenorrhea in women. This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study that resulted in a sample of 59 women, in which social characteristics, presence of comorbidities, characterization of menstrual pattern and physical activity were investigated. The sample consists of women of about 25 years, preferably students, with few comorbidities and who had an extremely active sports life with the practice of multiple modalities. Most interviewees reported a positive relationship between physical activity and control of dysmenorrhea, this perception being more prevalent among women with moderate dysmenorrhea than among women with severe dysmenorrhea. Thus, it concludes the effectiveness of physical activity in mitigating the symptoms of dysmenorrhea.

Monitoring is a learning space provided to students. Its way is to improve the professional training process and promote the improvement of teaching quality, creating conditions for the theoretical deepening and the development of skills related to the teaching activity of the monitor. The monitoring programs have to provide undergraduates with the possibility to optimize their academic potential, assisting them in professional training. Based on this principle, the result of this teaching method will be evaluated through questions focusing on anatomy, pathology and radiology themes within the perspective of the Morphofunctional Laboratory IV applied before and after the cognitive test. A better result is expected in the post-cognitive test questions due to the greater clarification of the content by the monitors.
