The effect of the menstrual cycle on physical performance is being increasingly recognised
as a key consideration for women's sport and a critical field for further research. This …

Despite decades of research on the physiological and psychological effects of the menstrual
cycle, studies have not sufficiently adopted consistent methods for operationalizing the …

Sex hormone concentrations of eumenorrheic women typically fluctuate across the
menstrual cycle and can affect neural function such that estrogen has neuroexcitatory …

This study aimed to investigate the fluctuations of muscle performance in the Smith machine

it remains unclear if there are sex‐based differences in neuromuscular recruitment …

As the fields of kinesiology, exercise science, and human movement developed, the majority
of the research focused on male physiology and extrapolated findings to females. This …

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a noninvasive indicator of autonomic control. This study
