Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the work is to assess the effect of the menstrual cycle on the biomechanical properties of the muscles. The study will be conducted among young women aged 20-25 with a regular menstrual cycle. During the test, muscle strength and muscle flexibility as well as activation times will be performed. The study will assess the effect of the stretching of the hamstring muscles on the biomechanical properties of the muscles in the different phases of the menstrual cycle.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Young women during various of phases of menstrual cycle.

The group of 40 young women will have their hamstring muscle stretched in different phases of the menstrual cycle: follicular, ovulatory and luteal. Static stretching will last 3x 45 seconds with a 15 second break between repetitions. Before and after the intervention a series of tests will be performed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Static stretching

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Static stretching lasting 3 x 45 seconds will be performed in each of the examined women three times in different phases of the menstrual cycle: follicular, ovulatory and luteal. Before and after the intervention, a series of tests assessing the influence of stretching on biomechanical parameters will be carried out
