Clinical Trial Summary

The fluctuating concentrations of female sex hormones, namely estrogen and progesterone may have an effect on the ability of the tissue to withstand challenging exercise conditions, such as eccentric exercise. Namely, estrogen has been known to provide membrane stabilization and antioxidant conditions to tissues. This study aims to uncover how the different estrogen concentrations (high, medium, and low) present in 3 phases of the menstrual cycle affect inflammatory conditions and perception of muscle damage (i.e., DOMS) in those that participate in a downhill running protocol.


Clinical Trial Description

Although nearly half of the population is female, less than 10% of research resources are allocated to understanding how their dynamic physiology impacts athletic readiness, performance, and recovery. The fluctuating concentrations of female sex hormones, namely estrogen and progesterone may have an effect on the ability of the tissue to withstand challenging exercise conditions, such as eccentric exercise. Namely, estrogen has been known to provide membrane stabilization and antioxidant conditions to tissues. This study aims to uncover how the different estrogen concentrations (high, medium, and low) present in 3 phases of the menstrual cycle affect inflammatory conditions and perception of muscle damage (i.e., DOMS) in those that participate in a downhill running protocol. ;
