This statement intends to promote an increase in the inclusion of women as participants in studies related to sport and exercise science and an enhanced execution of these studies resulting in more high-quality female-specific data.]]> Mon 05 Dec 2022 08:09:28 AEDT ]]> Hepcidin and interleukin-6 responses to endurance exercise over the menstrual cycle https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44496 0.05). The time-course for hepcidin and interleukin-6 responses to exercise was different from the literature, since hepcidin peak levels occurred at 0 h post-exercise, whereas the highest interleukin-6 levels occurred at 3 h post-exercise. We concluded that menstrual cycle phases may alter interleukin-6 production causing a higher inflammation when progesterone levels are elevated (days 19–21). Moreover, during the early follicular phase a significant reduction of iron levels is observed potentially due to a loss of haemoglobin through menses. According to our results, high intensity exercises should be carefully monitored in these phases in order not to further compromise iron stores.]]> Fri 14 Oct 2022 09:04:57 AEDT ]]> Cardiorespiratory Responses to Endurance Exercise Over the Menstrual Cycle and With Oral Contraceptive Use https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49194 Fri 05 May 2023 15:51:16 AEST ]]>
