Study hormones in women doing downhill exercise
This study looks at how a woman’s natural (endogenous) sex hormones affect the body’s response to downhill running. You may be able to help researchers understand what changes with exercise depending on menstrual cycle patterns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are age 18 to 35
- Your BMI is between 18.5 and 29.9

This study looks at how different types of exercise—like fast running or cycling (aerobic) and short, intense bursts (anaerobic)—affect your body's hormone levels, specifically thyroid hormones and cortisol. You'll do both types of exercise during the study, and we'll take small blood samples to see how your body responds. This could help us understand how fitness affects your hormones and overall health.
This study looks at how ultra-endurance running affects heart and inflammation markers in women, and whether their menstrual cycle or hormone levels play a role. If you join, researchers will monitor your heart and blood markers around the race.
This trial tests how different sex hormone levels affect the body's response to physical training. It may help explain why exercise works differently for different people.
This study looks at how different phases of the menstrual cycle can change exercise performance. You may be asked to follow a structured workout plan and track how you feel during the study.
This study looks at how physical and stress load from exercise may affect hormone signals that help bring on regular menstrual periods in exercising women. You might benefit by learning more about your hormone and cycle patterns while being monitored through exercise, stress, and at-home measurements.
This study looks at how running affects bone health in young women. If you're a premenopausal woman who runs regularly, researchers want to understand your bone metabolism better.
