“…27,28 These alterations in menstrual function have been associated with reduced levels of estradiol, progesterone, and follicle-stimulating hormone, particularly during adolescence. 27,29,30 Studies of recreational athletes suggest that ovarian function may be altered in women who engage in less strenuous activity through lower mean hormone levels, longer menstrual cycle lengths, 31,32 or the occurrence of anovulatory menstrual cycles, 33 but to our knowledge the data are not as conclusive as those for athletes. Recent physical activity may also act through hormonal mechanisms by continuing to impact ovarian hormone levels among premenopausal women, may directly lower estrogen levels, 34 or may alter circulating estrogen levels of postmenopausal women indirectly 9 by lowering BMI or maintaining weight among postmenopausal women.…”

“…High levels of estrogens and progesterone play a central role in exposing breast tissue to harmful effects. Their serum levels are known to decrease with exercise (23), even with exercise of moderate intensity (24)(25)(26), under experimental conditions. Whether this mechanism holds true for occupational physical activity is not known, although moderate levels of physical activity, as found among cleaners, kitchen staff, and clerical workers at hospitals, appear to affect the female reproductive system, as measured by the time to pregnancy (ie, fecundability) (27).…”

“…Ellison and Lager (1986) report that moderate recreational running may be associated with lower salivary progesterone levels in females. Thus, we collect information on physical exercise scheduled.…”
