Understanding the Menstrual Cycle and Its Impact on Performance
The menstrual cycle consists of the follicular phase and the luteal phase, impacting different aspects of the body at various times. The fluctuation in hormones like estrogen, progesterone, FSH, and LH drives these phases. These hormonal changes influence the uterine lining, egg development, and ovulation. The menstrual cycle can affect athletic performance, with some athletes experiencing fatigue, elevated respiratory rate, and mood swings during certain phases.
