Women's football in change: Cycle consciousness revolutionizes training

Olympiazentrums Vorarlberg, Vorarlberg, Österreich - The female cycle is becoming increasingly important in women's football. In Vorarlberg in particular, coaches and scientists are working on raising awareness of cycle -related changes. Together with the Vorarlberg Football Association, Peukert and their team organized several workshops and lectures to inform officials, trainers and players about dealing with the cycle. One central goal is that athletes speak openly about their symptoms and thus design the training adjustments accordingly. "If someone really has cycle -related symptoms, she should be able to say that I don't feel so good today," said Peukert. Over 40 coaches took part in a lecture, whereby the interest among the coaching was remarkable, since more men were present than women, which Peukert considered a positive sign.

In a precise look at the streamlines of the human body, the medical cycle is increasingly being discussed in the medical world. In this way, gynecologists express a growing interest in the conscious perception of the cyclical processes in the body. This development is also reflected in treatment and advice in gynecological practice. The Figo has recently published a new classification for cyclical disorders. In particular, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) plays a central role as the most common cause of cyclical disorders. The clarification of the cycle is not only important for physical well -being, but also for understanding the recourse to hormonal therapies, which are recommended in cases of long -term estrogen deficiency.

awareness of cyclical disorders and their consequences

The public offers more space for discussions about topics such as menstruation and menstrual hygiene, which were often taboo. As a result, both schoolchildren and younger players talk more about their menstruation in football and use cycle tracking apps. Nevertheless, there are differences in the acceptance of the topic, especially among younger players between 12 and 14 years. Here the exchange within the teams remains limited. In the context of nutrition, parents also have a crucial role by preparing healthy meals for their children to ensure that the energy stores are activated on game and training days.

various initiatives, such as the workshops of the Vorarlberg Football Association or the publications in medical papers, are crucial to promote understanding of these important biological processes. So the future brings a promising development in communication and dealing with the female cycle, as both the ORF and Springer report.
