Impact of Menstrual Cycle on Strength Training
Research conducted by Dr. Stu Phillips' PhD student reviewed the impact of menstrual cycles on strength training performance. Contrary to previous hypotheses, the review concluded that menstrual cycles do not significantly influence strength training performance or adaptations. Therefore, there is no need to adjust training based on menstrual cycle phases or certain medical conditions like PCOS, as regular, supervised high-effort strength training is beneficial for all.
