Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to precise the impact of menstrual cycle and physical activity on the hamstrings muscle function in healthy active women. The main question it aims to answer is : is there a moment of the menstrual cycle when the muscle is better able to recover from a strenuous exercise ? Three appointments will be conducted to evaluate the hamstring muscles at difference moments of the menstrual cycle. Echographic and maximal force production measures will be done. Researchers will compare these results with a group taking oral contraceptives.

Conditions

• Menstrual Cycle
• Oral Contraceptive Use
