![]() ![]() The initial meta-analysis pooled pairwise effect sizes comparing exercise performance during the early follicular phase with all other phases (late follicular, ovulation, early luteal, mid-luteal and late luteal) amalgamated. ![]() All data were meta-analysed using multilevel models grounded in Bayesian principles. Four databases were searched for published experimental studies that investigated the effects of the MC on exercise performance, which included at least one outcome measure taken in two or more defined MC phases. This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. To determine the effects of the MC on exercise performance and provide evidence-based, practical, performance recommendations to eumenorrheic women. At present, data are conflicting, with no consensus on whether exercise performance is affected by MC phase. Concentrations of endogenous sex hormones fluctuate across the menstrual cycle (MC), which could have implications for exercise performance in women. ![]()
