A study of the changes in CO2 sensitivity at rest was undertaken in 20 regularly menstruating females in an attempt to determine the influence of the menstrual cycle on this variable. A biphasic oral temperature graph was used to signify fertility and demarcate three phases of the cycle. A CO2-rebreathing test was conducted 3 times/wk for 6 wk to obtain CO2 sensitivity and CO2 threshold measures. An analysis of variance was used to compare the results collected in each phase of the cycle for each of the variables. A significant increase was found in the sensitivity to CO2 between the follicular and luteal phases, a significant decrease between the luteal and menstrual phases, and no significant difference between the follicular and menstrual phases. The change between follicular and luteal phases was attributed to the effect of progesterone, which is elevated during the luteal phase. No significant change was found in the CO2 threshold level.

The purposes of this study were to clarify which period of the stance phase shows the greatest decrease in the smoothness of the knee joint movement and to analyze the relationships between kinetic variables and the smoothness of the knee joint movement during the stance phase using the angular jerk cost (AJC). The study subjects were 11 healthy adults. To clarify the relationships between the kinetic variables and the AJC, Pearson's product correlation coefficients were calculated for the AJC and three kinetic variables. The AJC in the early stance phase was significantly larger than those in the other three phases, and it was confirmed that the early stance phase showed the greatest decrease in smoothness of the knee joint movement. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between the AJC and the vertical component of the ground reaction force in the early stance phase. Correlations between the AJC and the kinetic variables were also found in the other three phases. Regarding evaluation of the smoothness of the knee joint movement using the AJC based on the present results, the AJC may be an important index for understanding the dynamics of the knee joint in the early stance phase.

Background: The hormonal fluctuations that occur during normal menstrual cycle has profound influence on autonomic functions. This influence on autonomic nervous system may affect cardiovagal control. The aim of the study is to find out the variation of Parasympathetic function tests during different phases of menstrual cycle in young healthy females.Methods: The present study was carried out on 50 healthy female subjects with normal menstrual cycles between the ages of 18 to 25 years. Various non-invasive parasympathetic function tests during different phases of menstrual cycle were performed that include Resting heart rate (RHR), Heart rate variation during deep breathing (E:I Ratio), Heart rate response to standing (30:15 Ratio), Heart rate response to Valsalva maneuver (Valsalva Ratio). The results were analysed using ANOVA and student’s paired-t tests.Results: During the menstrual cycle, we found varied heart rate response with higher values towards the luteal phase, when compared to the follicular phase and the menstrual phase. There was a statistically significant difference in the heart rate parameters like resting heart rate, 30:15 ratio, valsalva ratio and E:I ratio during the three phases of menstrual cycle.Conclusions: The study concludes that there was statistically significant heart rate variability during three phases of the menstrual cycle, as observed by the increased sympathetic discharge in the luteal phase compared to the increased parasympathetic discharge in the follicular phase. The results of our study have emphasized the complexity of the relationship between ovarian steroids and various hemodynamic regulatory systems.
