Sexual reproduction is one of the most notable sex differences. During puberty girls experience menarche, which signals the ‘official start’ of the menstrual cycle and persists until menopause. During the menstrual cycle, the ovarian hormones oestrogen and progesterone fluctuate in a predictable repeating pattern, although it should be noted that there is large inter- and intra-individual variability in cycle length and hormone levels. Aside from their paradigmatic roles, oestrogen and progesterone have been shown to have non-reproductive functions. As such, the menstrual cycle has developed - over the last century - into a topic of interest for female athletes from a health and performance perspective.
