Menstrual Cycle Phase Based Training
Resistance Exercise | Menstrual CycleThe primary purpose of this study is to employ state-of-the-art methods to fill current knowledge gaps on the effects of the menstrual cycle on resistance exercise training adaptations. This work will reduce the sex gap present in exercise physiology, improving women's health information by yielding a deeper understanding of the effect of female physiology on exercise adaptations and subsequent health benefits.
Employing a unilateral training design, participant's will have their legs randomized to one of four groups: non-exercise control (CON), exercise control (EX), Follicular based training (FOL), Luteal based training (LUT)
Researchers will compare these conditions to see if there are greater benefits to prioritizing resistance training around phases of the menstrual cycle,
