Results: The majority (74%) of OC users reported having deliberately manipulated menstruation at least once during the previous year, with 29% reporting having done so at least 4 times. Prevalence of menstrual manipulation (at least once in the previous year) was not different between competitive athletes, subelite recreationally active women, and recreationally active women (77% vs 74% vs 72%; P > .05). The most cited reasons for manipulating menstruation were special events or holidays (rated by 75% as important/very important), convenience (54%), and sport competition (54%). Conclusions: Menstrual manipulation through extended OC regimens is common practice in recreationally and competitively active young women, for a range of reasons relating to convenience that are not limited to physical activity. This strategy may help reduce hormone-related barriers to exercise participation, thereby positively affecting participation and performance.]]> Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:03:04 AEST ]]> Premenstrual asthma: prevalence, cycle-to-cycle variability and relationship to oral contraceptive use and menstrual symptoms https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4823 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:18:53 AEDT ]]> The effect of the menstrual cycle and oral contraceptives on acute responses and chronic adaptations to resistance training: a systematic review of the literature https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49237 Mon 08 May 2023 10:07:09 AEST ]]> The effect of the menstrual cycle and oral contraceptive cycle on muscle performance and perceptual measures https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47865 Fri 03 Feb 2023 14:07:53 AEDT ]]>
