Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the menstrual cycle on the anaerobic power of short duration in healthy adult women.
Methods
Twenty-one subjects submitted to three Wingate tests. The following indicators were assessed: anthropometric measurements, body composition, physical activity level, maximum power average, fatigue index, and heart rate. Initially, the Wilcoxon test was made for analysis of heart rate during recovery.
Results
The findings suggest no statistically significant difference between the mid-follicular phase and late luteal for absolute power peak (508.19–503.29), and relative (8.95–8.80), mean absolute power (357.52–354.24) and relative (6.32–6.18), respectively. However, the maximum heart rate was lower and significant (180.48–183.90, p = 0.01) in the mid-follicular phase.
Conclusion
The mid-follicular and late luteal phases of the menstrual cycle have no influence on the performance of anaerobic power of short duration in college students.
