Comparación de la fuerza muscular en las fases ováricas del ciclo menstrual en mujeres universitarias deportistas y físicamente activas

Abstract

The lack of reliability due to small-scale samples (4 and 13%) and the lack of veracity due to the bias that may exist in the inadequate data collection regarding the phase of the menstrual cycle in which women of the different studies are found (Thompson & Han, 2019), makes necessary this research that aims to "compare muscle strength in the ovarian phases of the menstrual cycle of sportive and physically active university women of Tunja". This research is nonexperimental cross-sectional quantitative type, where it is intended to use the Bosco Test with jump platform Dm Jump, pressure test with hydraulic hand dynamometer 200lb/90kgbaseline, Smith bench press 1RM test; in addition, it was estimated for the control of the menstrual phase, by means of app or manually supported with hormonal serum examinations. With the application of this study is expected to contribute to the work of the sports coach, through an optimization in the programming of exercise and physical preparation, of its users and athletes, respectively, without neglecting, the contribution to institutional, local, departmental, national and international legal regulations that seek to contribute to the empowerment of women through their active participation in research and by being the direct beneficiary of its results. In the results of the upper limb tests, it was found that physically active women were who had a significant increase only in the MRI test, on the other hand, the female athletes had very similar values in both ovarian phases, and in the test of prehensile force, both groups, neither presented variation. As for the results of the lower limb tests, it was found that, similarly, women athletes do not present major variations in the variables obtained from the Bosco Test, while physically active women, showed an increase in most variables. In this way, it can be concluded that physically active women do present increased strength values in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, while female athletes do not present greater variation in either phase.
