The Effects of Menstrual Cycle Phase on Exercise Performance in Eumenorrheic Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
McNulty, Elliott-Sale, Dolan, Swinton, Ansdell, Goodall, Thomas, Hicks · 2020 · Sports Medicine 50(10):1813–1827
What this work gives Aellic
78 studies, n = 1,193: ES −0.04, CrI [−0.11, 0.08], GRADE low. There is NO appreciable luteal performance decrement. The popular advice to “take it easier in the luteal phase” inverts a finding that is trivial to begin with — which is why Aellic builds no cycle-phase-driven training recommendation.
