Elite athletes are no long ashamed of their periods — and they may even be a secret weapon
Does tech hold the answer?
Progesterone, meanwhile, tends to rise after ovulation, and is at its highest levels during the luteal phase.One such device is fitness "wearable" Whoop, which has partnerships with the Women's Tennis Association and the Ladies' Professional Golf Association . "Back in 2019, we started to get a lot of feedback that users always had green recovery scores — so that's the highest indication that their body is ready to perform — during the first part of their cycle, including their periods, which we thought was interesting," Capodilupo says.Could menstruation be a time of 'peak' performance?
"It was really evident from that paper that women are resilient to stress during the first part of their cycle, so even from day one [of their period] right up to ovulation," says Dr Sims. "But if you were going to align your training cycle with your menstrual cycle, you might want to have the hardest training in your follicular phase," she says.
"We just don't have the research evidence to say, every woman in this phase is going to feel like this."
