Body, Cycle & Movement: Understanding Exercise During Menstruation

All of us women, at the beginning of our teenage years, face a very special situation that marks our transition into a new phase of life — our period… According to research, for a large percentage of women, these days are far from idyllic. 85% of women experience dysmenorrhea (Sacala M., 2000), while 51% are absent from their daily activities such as school, work, or the gym (Knish R., 1985).

In recent years, more and more people have incorporated exercise into their daily lives. This trend is largely due to the fact that physical activity has been proven to have positive effects not only on physical fitness but also on overall health and well-being. However, what is particularly interesting is the connection between physical activity and mental health .
