Article Synopsis
- The IronFEMME Study investigates how hormonal profiles affect iron metabolism and muscle damage in female athletes during different types of exercise.
- The study involves 104 active women, divided into three groups: eumenorrheic, oral contraceptive users, and postmenopausal, with specific exercise protocols to assess iron and muscle responses.
- Eumenorrheic participants are tested at three points in their menstrual cycle while other groups are tested based on their hormonal status, with the goal of enhancing understanding of female athlete health and performance.
The anaerobic threshold (AT) has been one of the most studied of all physiological variables. Many authors have proposed the use of several markers to determine the moment at with the AT is reached. The present work discusses the physiological responses made to exercise - the measurement of which indicates the point at which the AT is reached - and how these responses might be controlled by the central nervous system.
