abstract = {The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the menstrual cycle on vertical jumping,
sprint performance and force-velocity profiling in resistance-trained women. A group of resistancetrained eumenorrheic women (n = 9) were tested in three phases over the menstrual cycle: bleeding
phase, follicular phase, and luteal phase (i.e., days 1–3, 7–10, and 19–21 of the cycle, respectively).
Each testing phase consisted of a battery of jumping tests (i.e., squat jump [SJ], countermovement
jump [CMJ], drop jump from a 30 cm box [DJ30], and the reactive strength index) and 30 m sprint
running test. Two different applications for smartphone (My Jump 2 and My Sprint) were used to
record the jumping and sprinting trials, respectively, at high speed (240 fps). The repeated measures
ANOVA reported no significant differences (p ≥ 0.05, ES < 0.25) in CMJ, DJ30, reactive strength index
and sprint times between the different phases of the menstrual cycle. A greater SJ height performance
was observed during the follicular phase compared to the bleeding phase (p = 0.033, ES = −0.22).
No differences (p ≥ 0.05, ES < 0.45) were found in the CMJ and sprint force-velocity profile over the
different phases of the menstrual cycle. Vertical jump, sprint performance and the force-velocity
profiling remain constant in trained women, regardless of the phase of the menstrual cycle.},
