Abstract in brief

  • The IMPACT study is a clinical trial that aims to find out if tailoring exercise based on different phases of the menstrual cycle (follicular vs. luteal) can improve aerobic performance and muscle strength in well-trained women.
  • The study will involve 120 women aged 18-35, who will be randomly assigned to three groups: follicular phase-based training, luteal phase-based training, or regular training, over three menstrual cycles.
  • Researchers will measure performance, body composition, blood markers, and hormone levels at the start and end of the study to see if cycle-specific training offers any advantages for female athletes.
