“…discussed menstrual disturbances in female athletes. Many female athletes experience amenorrhea or other forms of menstrual dysfunction (Dadgostar, Razi, Aleyasin, Alenabi, & Dahaghin, 2009;Nichols, Rauh, Lawson, Ji, & Barkai, 2006;Verrilli, Blanchard, Landry, & Stanic, 2018). This menstrual disturbance can be accompanied by poor bone health and inadequate energy availability in syndromes known as Triad or Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) (Mountjoy et al, 2014).…”

FAC) was originated with the purpose of providing a global forum for the dissemination of current strategies to prevent and treat clinical issues and injuries specific to female athletes. As young women and girls become more empowered through sports, it is important to advance research on how sex and gender differences affect athlete performance and sports experience. With its unique topic area, the FAC is the first and largest conference of its kind, and thus presents a rare and critical opportunity to address health issues specific to girls and women in sport. All proceeds from the conference support the research of female athletes to help promote optimal performance, injury prevention, and return to sport.With research advancements in mind, the FAC centers on the specific health issues that make female athletes unique. The goals of the FAC are multifaceted and focus on the interdisciplinary care of female athletes. One key aim is to improve attendees' awareness and comfort level in managing salient issues for the modern female athlete (e.g., female-specific equipment, fertility, exercise and pregnancy, anger management, transition out of sport, navigation of sexualization of women in sport, female athlete empowerment), and to provide updates about more traditional topics [e.g., anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) updates, new concussion and head injury information, injury rehabilitation, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), and nutritional needs of female athletes]. Another important aim of the FAC is to provide networking opportunities to improve research and female athletes' training, confidence, and motivation to advance their success on and off the field.

“…The MC typically begins around 13 years of age [ 12 ] and will continue regularly until perimenopause around the age of 45 years [ 13 ] unless interrupted by pregnancy, hormonal contraceptive (HC) use or menstrual or ovulatory dysfunction. Approximately 67%- 91% of elite female athletes are eumenorrheic [ 14 , 15 ] and about half of eumenorrheic athletes do not use HC [ 16 , 17 ]. This suggests that a considerable proportion of female athletes may experience cyclic hormonal fluctuations.…”

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 narrative review explores the findings of studies investigating the effects of menstrual cycle phase on perceived and objectively measured performance in an athletic population. Studies examining perceived performance consistently report that female athletes identify their performance to be relatively worse during the early follicular and late luteal phases. Studies examining objective performance (using anaerobic, aerobic or strength-related tests) do not report clear, consistent effects of the impact of menstrual cycle phase on physical performance. Overall sport performance can be influenced by both perceived and physical factors. Hence, to optimise performance and management of eumenorrheic female athletes, there is a need for further research to quantify the impact of menstrual cycle phase on perceived and physical performance outcomes and to identify factors affecting variability in objective performance outcomes between studies.
