La sperimentazione clinica NCT06985420 è uno studio osservazionale per Donne sane, Mestruazione, Esercizio di resistenza, attualmente in arruolamento. Avviato il 16 agosto 2024, prevede di arruolare 40 partecipanti. Sotto la guida di l'Università della Florida Centrale, dovrebbe concludersi entro il 1 maggio 2025. I dati più recenti da ClinicalTrials.gov sono stati aggiornati l'ultima volta il 22 maggio 2025.
Sommario breve
The goal of this observational study is to learn how the menstrual cycle affects immune cell activation, recruitment, and recovery responses after resistance exercise in healthy, resistance-trained women aged 18-40. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the menstrual cycle influence neutrophil recruitment and adhesion after resistance exercise? Does the menstrual cycle affect markers of muscle damage and functional recovery? Researchers will compare three menstrual phases (early follicular, late follicular, and mid-luteal) to see if immune responses and recovery outcomes differ across these phases.

Participants will:

Complete resistance exercise protocols across three different menstrual cycle phases.

Provide blood samples to assess immune cell activation and muscle damage markers.

Track sleep, mood, and recovery with questionnaires and wear an accelerometer.

Esercizio di resistenza
Resistance Exercise Protocols: Participants will perform exercises, including belt squats, hex bar deadlifts, and plyometric drop jumps. The load and intensity will be standardized based on each participant's 1-repetition maximum (1RM) to ensure uniformity across trials.
Menstrual CYCLE Phases
Menstrual Cycle Phases: The key exposure variable is the phase of the menstrual cycle, with participants being assessed during the early follicular, late follicular, and mid-luteal phases.
