    Summary

    Strenuous exercise in female athletes significantly increases prolactin levels, potentially causing menstrual dysfunction. Physicians should monitor and manage athletic women experiencing irregular periods.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Reproductive Endocrinology

    Context:

    • Increasing participation of women in strenuous sports.
    • Observed link between athletic training and menstrual dysfunction.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the endocrinological responses to continuous exercise in elite female athletes.
    • To explore the role of hormonal changes in exercise-induced menstrual dysfunction.

    Summary:

    • Elite female basketball players underwent 60-minute cycling at 60% VO2max.
    • Estradiol increased significantly in the luteal phase; progesterone showed no significant change.
    • FSH and LH exhibited minor fluctuations, while prolactin significantly increased during exercise in both phases.

    Impact:

    • Frequent prolactin elevation during strenuous training may cause menstrual dysfunction in athletes.
