Menstruation and the Menstrual Cycle in Sport, Exercise, and Physical Activity

The Menstrual Cycle in Sport, Exercise, and Physical Activity is the first book to offer students, researchers, and professionals an evidenced-based reference on considerations and concepts relevant to sports performance and physical activity during menstruation and the menstrual cycle, showcasing multidisciplinary perspectives in sub-disciplines of sport and exercise science, including physiology, psychology and biomechanics, and social science.

This new book presents research insights and theoretical underpinnings as it explores targeted interventions to support sport, exercise, and physical activity engagement during all parts of the menstrual cycle.
