No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There is still no one who has studied how oral contraceptive use affects recovery in trained women after repeated high-intensity workouts. Consequently, a well-controlled study is needed.

The project is designed as a controlled cohort study, where 20 oral contraceptive users will be compared with 20 non-users. After initial preliminary examination and habituation to the test procedures, the subjects will start the intervention in week 2 of their menstrual cycle / active contraceptive pill cycle. Before and 3h, 24h and 48h after 3 intense strength training sessions performed 2 days in a row, blood samples will be taken, muscle soreness measured and performance tests performed. The day before the first training session and over the 4 trial days, the subjects will receive a standardized diet.
