| Abstract | ||
| Background: Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation may affect muscles, ligaments, and joint functions. Therefore, this study aimed to determine how different menstrual cycle phases affected young females’ balance. Aim of Study: This study aimed to investigate and compare the balance between athletic and non-athletic young females during the ovulatory and mid-luteal phases. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 25 non-athletic females with regular menstrual cycles. They were aged 18 to 25 years, with body mass index (BMI) ranging from 25 to 29.9kg/m2, and free of any medical disorders. Results: Non-athletic females showed a significant de-crease (p<0.02) in the overall stability between the ovulation and mid-luteal phases. Conclusions: Non-athletic females exhibit less balance during the ovulation phase than in the mid-luteal phase. The menstrual phases should be taken into consideration in design-ing the exercises. | ||
