Research Abstract |
Influence of menstrual cycle on thermoregulatory reactions induced by cold and endurance physical fitness were studied among matured women, between 20ies and 50ies. Bigger periferal cold tolerance expressed as cold-induced vasodilatation (CIVD) of finger in follicular (F) than in luteal (L) phase was observed 5 among 10 subjects in 20ies, 4 among 5 subjects in 30ies and 4 among 5 subjects in 40 ies. So, bigger CIVD in F phase was in elder as compared to younger female subjects. Greater endurance physical fitness expressed as maximal oxygen consumption (VO_2max/kg b.wt.) in F than in L phase was observed 4 among 10 subjects in 20ies, 2 among 5 subjects in 30ies and 2 among 5 subjects in 40 ies. In a case of VO_2max/kg b.wt., there is no big difference between both F and L phases depending on age of female subjects. Average value of CIVD and VO_2max/kg did not differ between both phases in the menstrual cycle in 20,30 and 40ies' women. CIVD and VO_2max/kg of 4 subjects in 50ies who were in menopause were measured two times in a month. Those values also showed a difference in each measure. CIVD of 20ies was smaller than those of elder subjects although VO_2max/kg was larger in younger than elder subjects. The difference of CIVD and VO_2max/kg between F and L Phase of 20,30 and 40ies or first and second measure of 50ies (DELTACIVD,DELTAVO_2max/kg) showed positive correlation (P=0.05). Other factor (s) than sex hormones might affect to both CIVD and VO_2max/kg of matured wemen. Thermoreguratory reactions (tympanic and finger (T_<flnger>) temperatures, mean skin temperaure (T_<sk>), skin conductance (K_b) and heat production) were measured in two 20ies' subjects who were higher CIVD and VO_2max/kg in L phase, exposed cold air for 60 min. Theyshowed higher T_<sk> and heat production and lower T_<flnger> and K_b in L than F phase.
