Does my Cycle impact my training?
In recent years, the concept of “cycle syncing”- aligning training regimens with specific phases of the menstrual cycle—has gained popularity.
This approach suggests that women should modify their workouts based on hormonal fluctuations, performing different exercises during the follicular and luteal phases.
What new research says about the menstrual cycle and it’s impact on your workouts.
However, emerging research challenges this approach.
A study led by Lauren Colenso-Semple and colleagues investigated the impact of menstrual cycle phases on muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and muscle protein breakdown (MPB) in response to resistance exercise.
The researchers found no significant differences in Muscle protein synthesis or Muscle protein breakdown between the follicular and luteal phases, indicating that the body’s anabolic response to training remains consistent throughout the menstrual cycle.
Furthermore, an umbrella review by the same lead author examined multiple studies on this topic and concluded that short-term hormonal fluctuations do not appreciably influence acute strength performance or longer-term adaptations to resistance training. The review also highlighted the importance of rigorous methodological practices in research, noting that many studies suffer from poor and inconsistent methods, making it premature to base training recommendations on menstrual cycle phases.
These findings reinforce the idea that women are not inherently fragile during any phase of their menstrual cycle. Rather than adhering to generalized cycle-based training protocols, it is more beneficial for women to listen to their bodies and adjust their training intensity based on individual comfort and performance levels. This personalized approach ensures that training is both effective and sustainable, without unnecessary constraints imposed by the menstrual cycle.
