This study presents a comprehensive analysis designed to improve our understanding of the impact of the menstrual cycle on hip biomechanics in young women. The menstrual cycle, a recurring process from puberty to menopause, typically spans 28 days, with each phase influenced by fluctuations in the hormones estradiol and progesterone. This research explores how these hormonal changes, particularly during the follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases, affect the biomechanical function of the hip, based on a sophisticated biomechanical analysis using BTS GAITLAB. Focused on variations in physical performance during the menstrual cycle, the study recorded and analyzed women’s walking patterns. Results show that periods of peak fertility correlate with increased physical activity. Six young women participated in the experiment, after meeting specific health and physiological criteria. The methodology included using advanced motion capture technology to collect comprehensive kinematic and kinetic data throughout the women’s cycles. The detailed analysis of these data elucidated the relation between hormonal variations and biomechanical performance, with the aim, potentially, of guiding personalized therapeutic interventions. Preliminary findings suggest significant variations in hip movements during the ovulatory phase compared to the luteal phase, which highlight the effects of the menstrual cycle on women’s body movements. This study underscores the complex interaction between hormonal changes and biomechanical functions and offers insights for the design of targeted interventions for women.

摘要

This study presents a comprehensive analysis designed to improve our understanding of the impact of the menstrual cycle on hip biomechanics in young women. The menstrual cycle, a recurring process from puberty to menopause, typically spans 28 days, with each phase influenced by fluctuations in the hormones estradiol and progesterone. This research explores how these hormonal changes, particularly during the follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases, affect the biomechanical function of the hip, based on a sophisticated biomechanical analysis using BTS GAITLAB. Focused on variations in physical performance during the menstrual cycle, the study recorded and analyzed women’s walking patterns. Results show that periods of peak fertility correlate with increased physical activity. Six young women participated in the experiment, after meeting specific health and physiological criteria. The methodology included using advanced motion capture technology to collect comprehensive kinematic and kinetic data throughout the women’s cycles. The detailed analysis of these data elucidated the relation between hormonal variations and biomechanical performance, with the aim, potentially, of guiding personalized therapeutic interventions. Preliminary findings suggest significant variations in hip movements during the ovulatory phase compared to the luteal phase, which highlight the effects of the menstrual cycle on women’s body movements. This study underscores the complex interaction between hormonal changes and biomechanical functions and offers insights for the design of targeted interventions for women.
