The menstrual cycle is the defining physiological characteristic of females. Coupled with the many anatomical, physiological, hormonal, and metabolic differences between males and females, the menstrual cycle and its constant fluctuation of hormones influence many aspects of a woman’s physiology, including oxygen consumption, body temperature, hydration, bone health, and metabolism, many of which influence females’ response to exercise. Join Dr. Jason Karp as this exciting presentation delves into the science of a woman, discussing her unique physiology and offering recommendations for training to maximize results.
