Athlete menstrual management

Know your menstrual cycle

As a previous elite athlete, Tiarna has developed a passion for educating the next generation of athletes on their menstrual health impact on training, performance and risk of injury.
Unfortunately, there is a paucity of female specific research in scientific literature regarding the impact of the menstrual and ovarian cycle on performance.

The first step to understanding the impact on your training and performance is to begin tracking your menstrual cycles, any symptoms you may experience at various times in the cycle and how your training and performance went during these times.

Tiarna recommends utilising the following apps to commence this understanding of your menstrual cycle:

• Garmin menstrual app
• Apple Health app
• FitR Women
• PeriodofthePeriod
