title: Perception of physical variables during four phases of the menstrual cycle.
abstract: Comparisons of perceptions during four menstrual phases were collected with 6 regularly menstruating athletes who responded to a semantic differentiation scale containing descriptive polar terms. Analysis indicated a significantly lower mean score on perceived strength and speed during the progestational phase and a lower mean for power during menstrual and progestational phases.
