Author(s): Prerna Mishra and M Ayaz Khan
Abstract:For the past ten years there has been an increase in female sport participation and accompanying female professional national leagues across multiple sports. Though there are known difference between female and male physiology, training protocols in female sport are predominantly supported and developed by research studies regarding male athletes. Recently, there has been more 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. The scores collected during the menstruation cycle and have been statistically evaluated using an Independent ‘t’ test after the subjects' menstruation time. For this analysis, the 0.05 level has been set in every case. Findings: The research findings showed that the selected physical health variables were substantially changed during the menstruation period to after the menstruation period.
