“…Similarly, Arazi et al (33) showed no significant difference between muscular strength and endurance in three phases of the menstrual cycle. Authors observed no significant changes in anaerobic power during all three phases of the menstrual cycle, however there were differences in luteinizing hormone and follicular stimulating hormone levels in the three different phases (35). Ekenros et al (36), found no significant difference in muscle strength between women taking oral contraceptives (OC) and women not taking oral contraceptives (non-OC).…”

Changes in muscle size resulting from resistance training are often measured using B-mode ultrasound (Buckner et al., 2019; Counts et al., 2016; Jessee et al., 2018). This technique allows accurate assessment of skeletal muscle size and has been shown to track similarly to more sophisticated techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography (Franchi et al., 2018; Loenneke et al., 2019). One limitation of muscle imaging techniques is an inability to differentiate between changes in skeletal muscle size due

“…The explosive strength performance of the lower body has not shown significant differences depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle, neither in the horizontal nor in the vertical jump. Arazi et al (2019) report that the muscular strength and endurance and anaerobic power of young women do not vary in the different phases of the menstrual cycle, despite the fact that the levels of LH and FSH change. According to the results of our study, no significant differences (p> 0.05) were observed in any of the jump tests (D-SHT; nD-SHT; BHT; SJ) performed to measure lower body muscle strength.…”

The aim of the study was to analyze variations in performance and subjective perception of well-being in youth soccer players between menstrual (FM), follicular (FF) and luteal (FL) phases. Twelve female soccer players participated (age, 16.18 ± 1.68 years; height, 164 ± 7.27 cm; body mass, 61.90 ± 6.37 kg), all with 4 years of competitive experience, and 3.1 ± 1 years with a regular menstrual cycle. The maximum speed in 40-m, ability to change direction (25-m with 5 changes of direction of 45º every 5 m), explosive strength of the lower limbs with dominant, non-dominant, bipodal leg and vertical jump height were evaluated using Squat Jump into each phase, along with the Hooper's subjective well-being questionnaire. No differences between menstrual phases were obtained in any performance outcome, sleep, fatigue, stress, or muscle pain (all p> 0.05). However, a lower (worse) general wellbeing (p <0.01) was noted during FM and FL compared to FF. Youth female soccer players well-being perception between menstrual phases provides relevant information to take into account by practitioners working with such athletes.

“…Second-generation monophasic oral contraceptives (OCs) are increasingly being used by women worldwide for controlling their menstrual cycles, managing premenstrual symptoms and dysmenorrhea, reducing menstrual blood loss, and regulating the timing of menstruation [ 1 – 4 ]. The increased participation of women in sports has sparked additional interest in understanding their physiological responses to exercise and muscle exertion [ 5 , 6 ]. Studies on the relationship between the menstrual cycle and sports performance in women based on whether they use OCs often focus on the hormones involved in menstruation [ 7 , 8 ].…”

Effects of oral contraceptive use on muscle strength, muscle thickness, and fiber size and composition in young women undergoing 12 weeks of strength training: a cohort study

Background It is suspected that hormonal fluctuations during menstruation may cause different responses to strength training in women who use oral contraceptives (OC) versus those who do not. However, previous studies that investigated the existence of such differences produced conflicting results. In this study, we hypothesized that OC use has no effect on muscle strength and hypertrophy among women undergoing strength training. Thus, we compared the differences in muscle strength and thickness among women who used OCs and those who did not. Methods We investigated the influence of OC use on muscle strength (Fmax), muscle thickness (Mtk), type 1-to-type 2 muscle fiber (NO) ratio, muscle fiber thickness (MFT), and nuclear-to-fiber (N/F) ratio. Seventy-four healthy young women (including 34 who used OCs and 40 who did not) underwent 12 weeks of submaximal strength training, after which Fmax was evaluated using a leg-press machine with a combined force and load cell, while Mtk was measured using real-time ultrasonography. Moreover, the NO ratio, MFT, and N/F ratio were evaluated using muscle needle biopsies. Results Participants in the non-OC and OC groups experienced increases in Fmax (+ 23.30 ± 10.82 kg and + 28.02 ± 11.50 kg respectively, p = 0.073), Mtk (+ 0.48 ± 0.47 cm2 and + 0.50 ± 0.44 cm2 respectively, p = 0.888), Fmax/Mtk (+ 2.78 ± 1.93 kg/cm2 and + 3.32 ± 2.37 kg/cm2 respectively, p = 0.285), NO ratio (type 2 fibers: + 1.86 ± 6.49% and − 4.17 ± 9.48% respectively, p = 0.169), MFT (type 2 fibers: + 7.15 ± 7.50 µm and + 4.07 ± 9.30 µm respectively, p = 0.435), and N/F ratio (+ 0.61 ± 1.02 and + 0.15 ± 0.97 respectively, p = 0.866) after training. There were no significant differences between the non-OC and OC groups in any of these parameters (p > 0.05). Conclusions The effects of 12 weeks of strength training on Fmax, muscle thickness, muscle fiber size, and composition were similar in young women irrespective of their OC use.
