dc.description.abstractIncreasing female participation in competitive sports demands the need to understand how to manage the effect of the menstrual cycle on performance. The present study aims to understand the variation in performance during a roundhouse kick movement along the menstrual cycle. Participants (n = 6) performed at least 6 high and low kick, two different tasks (simple or complex), across two different cycles, twice each cycle. Self-reported wellness, anthropometric measures and blood hormone concentration were taken. Reaction, response, and movement time were measured as performance outcomes. Repeated measure ANOVA and correlation statistical analyses were done. No significant relationship between hormone concentration and performance and no significant differences in performance between phases and cycles were found. The present study showed no influence of the menstrual cycle on roundhouse kick performance. However, on an individual level, there appears to be some physiological and psychological responses, emphasising the need for individualise training adaptations.en
