Results: The majority (74%) of OC users reported having deliberately manipulated menstruation at least once during the previous year, with 29% reporting having done so at least 4 times. Prevalence of menstrual manipulation (at least once in the previous year) was not different between competitive athletes, subelite recreationally active women, and recreationally active women (77% vs 74% vs 72%; P > .05). The most cited reasons for manipulating menstruation were special events or holidays (rated by 75% as important/very important), convenience (54%), and sport competition (54%). Conclusions: Menstrual manipulation through extended OC regimens is common practice in recreationally and competitively active young women, for a range of reasons relating to convenience that are not limited to physical activity. This strategy may help reduce hormone-related barriers to exercise participation, thereby positively affecting participation and performance.]]> Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:03:04 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27895 Thu 13 Sep 2018 16:27:40 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37418 Thu 12 Nov 2020 17:45:51 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20840 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:57 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17557 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:52 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26108 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:54 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30696 post-hoc factor analysis was undertaken. Results: Participants with current groin pain showed lower Physical Function of Daily Living (PFDL) and Physical Function in Sport and Recreation (PFSR) subscale scores (p < 0.05, ES: 0.77 and 0.90 respectively). Any groin pain (current and/or historical) lowered the Pain and Quality of Life (QOL) subscale scores (p < 0.05, ES: 0.38 and 0.72 respectively). Factor analysis showed 8 significant factors with one main factor identified representing items describing forceful activities (Eigenvalue = 18.02, Proportion = 0.49). Conclusions: The HAGOS can distinguish AF players with current groin pain in the PFDL and PFSR subscales but not in the other four subscales. Any current or historical groin pain lowers scores on the QOL and Pain sub scales.

Post hoc seed-to-voxel analyses using the MVPA cluster results as seeds were performed to characterize functional connectivity abnormalities from brain regions identified by MVPA. MVPA revealed one cluster of abnormal functional connectivity located in cerebellar lobule V. This region of lobule V corresponded to the ventral attention network. Post hoc seed-to-voxel analysis using the cerebellar MVPA cluster as a seed revealed multiple areas of cerebral cortical hyper-connectivity and hypo-connectivity in retired athletes when compared with controls. This initial report suggests that cerebellar dysfunction might be present and clinically important in some retired athletes.]]> Fri 01 Jul 2022 09:51:32 AEST ]]>
