Abstract

Objective: To determine changes in flexibility, dynamic balance, agility, vertical jump, aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity, and muscle strength performances in women in the early follicular and midluteal phases of the menstrual cycle. Material and Methods: The study included eumenorrheic women over 18 years of age. Ovulation was detected using LH urine kits. Physical activity levels were determined using the "International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form". Flexibility was evaluated with the sit-and-reach test, dynamic balance with the Y balance test, agility with the hexagon agility test, anaerobic power with the vertical jump test, aerobic capacity with the 20-meter shuttle run test, anaerobic capacity with the Wingate test, and muscle strength with an isokinetic dynamometer. Results: Twenty women participated in the study. The average age was 22.4 ± 0.9 years, and the average level of physical activity was 1162.2 ± 189.1 MET-min/week. The average menstrual cycle was 30.3 ± 0.5 days. The ‘minimum power’ value in Wingate test was higher during the midluteal phase compared with the follicular phase (p=0.048). The remaining parameters were not statistically different for the two menstrual phases (p>0.05). Conclusion: We conclude that different phases of the menstrual cycle affect performance parameters minimally and do not cause a statistically significant difference. Nevertheless, instead of establishing these changes as ‘clinically non-significant’, each athlete should be evaluated on an individual basis to develop individual training programs by taking into account the phases of the menstrual cycle.

Özet

Amaç: Kadınlarda erken foliküler ve midluteal fazda esneklik, dinamik denge, çeviklik, dikey sıçrama, aerobik kapasite, anaerobik kapasite ve kas kuvveti performanslarında meydana gelen değişimleri saptamak amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmaya 18 yaş üzeri ömenoreik kadınlar alındı. Araştırmaya katılan bireylerde ovülasyon luteinize edici hormon idrar kiti ile saptandı. Araştırmada fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ‘Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-Kısa Formu’ ile belirlendi. Katılımcıların esneklikleri otur eriş testi, dinamik dengeleri Y balans testi, çeviklikleri altıgen koordinasyon testi, anaerobik güç serbest dikey sıçrama testi, aerobik kapasite 20 metre mekik koşu testi, anaerobik kapasite Wingate testi, kas kuvveti ise izokinetik dinamometre ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Araştırmaya 20 kadın katıldı. Kadınların yaş ortalaması 22.4±0.9 yıl, fiziksel aktivite düzeyi 1162.2±189.1 MET/hafta olarak saptandı. Menstrual siklus uzunlukları 30.3±0.5 gün idi. Midluteal fazda Wingate testinde ‘en düşük güç değeri’ foliküler faza göre yüksek bulundu (p=0.048). Diğer performans testleri değerlendirildiğinde iki faz arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı (p>0.05). Sonuç: Menstrual siklusun fazlarına göre performans değişikliklerinin minimal düzeyde olduğu ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark oluşturmadığı saptandı. Bu performans değişikliklerine ‘klinik olarak anlamlı değildir’ demek yerine her sporcunun kendi özelinde değerlendirilmeli ve menstrual siklus fazına göre bireysel antrenman programlarının düzenlenmesi önerilmelidir.
