Brief Summary

The study aims to provide insights into how menstrual cycle phases impact appetite responses to resistance exercise in young women. Healthy young women will participate in four trials: the exercise session in the follicular phase, the exercise session in the luteal phase, the control session in the follicular phase, and the control session in the luteal phase. Various measurements will be taken, including subjective appetite perceptions, appetite hormones, food preferences, lactate levels, estradiol levels, progesterone levels, and energy intake.

Study Groups

The exercise in the follicular phase (EF)

Resistance exercise during the early-follicular phase (approximately during days 1-7 of the menstrual cycle).

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Resistance exercise

Intervention Type: OTHER

Resistance exercises in the following order: squat, bench press, deadlift. Each exercise consisted of 3 sets with 7 repetitions, using a load of 70% 1RM with 120sec of rest between sets.

The exercise in the luteal phase (EL)

Resistance exercise during the mid-luteal phase (approximately during days 18-25 of the menstrual cycle).

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Resistance exercise

Intervention Type: OTHER

Resistance exercises in the following order: squat, bench press, deadlift. Each exercise consisted of 3 sets with 7 repetitions, using a load of 70% 1RM with 120sec of rest between sets.

The control in the follicular phase (CF)

Sit and rest during the early-follicular phase (approximately during days 1-7 of the menstrual cycle).

Group Type: NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

The control in the luteal phase (CL)

Sit and rest during the mid-luteal phase (approximately during days 18-25 of the menstrual cycle).

Group Type: NO_INTERVENTION
