Abstract

Inadequate research on female health and performance; the complexity of the research; low menstrual health literacy of athletes, coaches, and support staff; and ethical and cultural sensitivities are all recognized as barriers to effective health monitoring for females in sports. Frameworks have been developed for academics to follow to help improve the quality of female-specific research. However, a similar resource that enables correct terminology, and use of health monitoring techniques has not been provided for sporting organizations, coaches, support staff or athletes. Therefore, this critical commentary presents a new resource, the Menstrual Health Manager. This resource may be used to determine the level of menstrual health monitoring detail that may be used by organisations, coaches or athletes, and specifies what reproductive health details the data will provide. This resource aims to provide organizations and coaches with a means of understanding the data that inform their decisions for female athletes. Utilization of this resource may aid in the consistent use of terminology and methods for female-specific health monitoring in both sports and research.

月经健康管理师(MHM):减少体育锻炼中科学与实践之间差异的资源。
关于女性健康和运动表现的研究不足;研究的复杂性;运动员、教练员和辅助人员月经健康知识的匮乏;以及伦理和文化方面的敏感性,都被认为是对运动中的女性进行有效健康监测的障碍。为帮助提高女性专项研究的质量,学术界已经制定了相应的框架。然而,还没有为体育组织、教练员、辅助人员或运动员提供类似的资源,使其能够使用正确的术语和健康监测技术。因此,本评论提出了一个新资源--月经健康管理器。该资源可用于确定机构、教练员或运动员可使用的月经健康监测详细程度,并说明数据将提供哪些生殖健康细节。该资源旨在为各组织和教练提供一种了解数据的方法,从而为他们为女运动员做出决定提供依据。利用该资源可有助于在体育和研究中统一使用女性特定健康监测的术语和方法。
