Abstract

The aim of this research is to study the effects of menstrual cycle on physical performance. Twenty senior women basketball players, whose age is 23.25 ± 3.24, participated and were tested in 02 occasions: before menstruation and during menstruation. For this purpose, we used physical tests (Sergeant test, agility T test, IFT 30-15, 30m test). For statistics, we calculated the mean, the standard deviation and Student t-test. The observance of physical performance during the menstrual cycle revealed that there was no disturbance in speed and agility while endurance and strength performance experienced changes during the different phases of the menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle can negatively influence athletic performance.
