It is common for injuries to occur during ovulation 😥
This has been shown particularly with ACL injuries due to increased tendon stiffness with the increases in estrogen during ovulation.
Does this mean you should avoid training at the time?
Absolutely not. It's also the best time for strength gains due to a slight increase in testosterone 🏋🏼♀️
What does it mean?
Be aware of where you are in your cycle, potentially reduce plyometric or change of direction exercises. Ensure you warm up before training and utilise safer training environments such as the gym 👏🏻
