“…and body temperature are influenced by menstrual cycles. In contrast, Guler, et al [7] concluded that menstrual cycles in female futsal players do not affect flexibility, power, speed, anaerobic and aerobic performance. Blanca Romero-Moraleda, et al [8] report that resistance-trained eumenorrhoeic women have similar speed, strength and power performance when exercising with loads equivalent to 20, 40, 60 and 80% of 1RM during the Smith machine half-exercise during exercise in different phases of the menstrual cycle.…”

Nowadays, several scientific studies focus women's the menstrual cycle and its impact on sports performance. However, the results of these studies are controversial. In This regard, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the menstrual cycle on physiological responses, intermittent Yo-Yo test performance, repeated sprints and medicine-ball in elite women handball players. The sample of this study is 18.71 ± 0.72 years older female players. The following handball specific physical tests were performed: intermittent Yo-Yo test, repeated sprints and medicine-ball whose lactate concentration was also measured. Endurance capacity ( )was lower in the luteal phase (p < 0.001). In contrast, medicine-ball performance, and repeated sprinting ability are better in the Follicular Phase (FP). The menstrual cycle affected performance on the Yo-Yo IET, exercise HRmax and muscle strength. Better performance is observed during the follicular phase.

“…It has been reported that the performances of the athletes in 3 different menstrual cycles did not make a significant difference. In a study conducted by Guler [37] on volleyball players, it was reported that the menstrual cycle did not have any effect on the flexibility, muscle strength, anaerobic power and sprint performances of the athletes. The period of menstruation, physiological changes in body weight, edema in the abdomen, wrists and ankles, pain in the abdomen and waist area, psychological anxiety, irritability, minor depressive states, and mental depressions are clinical symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.…”

Background and Study Aim. There has been a significant increase in the participation levels of women in competitive sports in recent years. This has contributed to the increase of research on women's participation in sports and their health. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the menstrual cycle on anaerobic power and jumping performance. Material and Methods. In this study, 15 female athletes between the ages of 18-24, who have a regular menstrual cycle for the last 6 months Wingate Anaerobic Power Test and Active Jumping Test applied to athletes during their menstrual phases (second day of the menstruation period) and follicular phases (14th day of the menstruation period). In the statistical analysis of the data, descriptive analyses of test measurements of athletes were calculated as mean and standard deviation. Whether there is a significant difference between the measurements taken on two different days was analyzed using the t-test in dependent groups. Results. It was determined that the anaerobic power and active jump performances of the participants had an effect on peak power, fatigue index and active jump performance between day 2 and day 14 values. Also, there was a statistically significant difference between these values (p<0.05). Conclusions. This situation can be explained as a result of the hormonal changes in the menstrual period of the athletes and the effects of psychological factors specific to this period.

“…For instance, 13 of the 25 studies presented in Table 5 assessed muscular strength across the menstrual cycle [ 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 ]. Three of the studies verified menstrual cycle via bloods [ 49 , 54 , 61 ], three via urine [ 55 , 56 , 58 ], one via saliva [ 50 ], one via oral temperature [ 60 ], and five had no menstrual cycle verification protocol [ 51 , 52 , 53 , 57 , 59 ]. Objective verification of the menstrual cycle is important as females without regular ovulatory cycles may reflect a different hormonal profile [ 18 , 62 ].…”

“…Across the 13 studies assessing muscular strength, different time points in the menstrual cycle were assessed, making comparisons between studies difficult. Three studies evaluated only two phases of the menstrual cycle [ 51 , 54 , 55 ], five evaluated three menstrual cycle phases [ 49 , 52 , 53 , 57 , 58 ], two evaluated four menstrual cycle phases [ 50 , 59 ], two studies evaluated five phases [ 56 , 60 ], and one study evaluated six phases [ 61 ]. There was also variability in the number of cycles assessed; ten studies assessed a single menstrual cycle [ 50 , 51 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 60 , 61 ], two studies assessed two complete menstrual cycles [ 49 , 59 ], and a single study assessed three complete menstrual cycles [ 52 ].…”

Over the past ten years there has been a dramatic rise in female sport participation and accompanying female professional national leagues across multiple sports, yet research has not followed suit. Although there are known variations between female and male physiology, training protocols in female sport are predominantly underpinned by research undertaken in male athletes. The hormonal variability experienced by women across the menstrual cycle, as well as the menstrual cycle variability between women, may contribute to the complexity of conducting rigorous physiological studies, leading to a paucity of robust sports-specific research that can be confidently applied to female athletes. Moreover, barriers exist in female sport that potentially limit the ability to conduct research, including the lack of full-time programs and limited resources. Recently, there has been increased interest in the potential effects of fluctuations in the female sex hormones, progesterone and oestrogen, on sport performance across different phases of the menstrual cycle. However, current research evaluating the menstrual cycle and physical performance (such as strength, speed, aerobic fitness, and athletes’ perception of their performance) have shown inconsistent results. Additionally, methodological design across studies has shown little consistency, making it difficult to draw firm conclusions, which potentially prevents female athletes optimising their physical and sporting performance. It further impacts coaches and sports science researchers in their ability to provide appropriate training recommendations and educational opportunities. It is important to progress in female athlete research with an understanding of how the unique physiology of female athletes may influence their ability to physically perform in their respective sport, which requires representation in sports science research. This paper will provide an overview on current evidence and limitations within menstrual cycle research and provide considerations and directions for future research in this space within team sports.
