In the weeks leading up to the U.S. women's national soccer team winning its fourth World Cup, the team's players were tracking not only their diets and workouts but also their period cycles.
Kudesia noted the majority her patients do not track their periods and the majority of those who do are tracking to know their ovulation in order to get pregnant. Changing hormone levels throughout the cycle can cause symptoms like depression and anxiety, asthma, cramping, bloating and gas, in addition to bleeding, according to the U.S. Office on Women's Health.Phase one is the bleeding phase of menstruation, when a woman is on her period and bleeding.
The USWNT, for example, had posters throughout their lodging during the month-long World Cup in France reminding them of the different phases and how to treat themselves accordingly, according to Scott. When it comes to strength and conditioning, research has shown that a body's ability to adapt and respond is better in these first two phases, so they are a great time to do a high-intensity workout like a circuit class, according to Bruinvels.
"You should be working with your hormones, not fighting them," Bruinvels said."Women have just accepted that they’re going to feel pain and feel like rubbish at some point, and we should start challenging that expectation."
