摘要

更好地了解准确跟踪女性荷尔蒙状态所固有的实际挑战和方法论挑战将提高运动代谢研究结果的清晰度。本研究的目的是对这一领域现有文献的质量进行客观评估,并对调查使用(HC+)或未使用(HC-)激素避孕药的女性在运动过程中底物代谢的研究中所遇到的实际情况和问题进行总体概述。通过系统综述、荟萃分析和在PubMed/MEDLINE上的搜索,共确定了44篇文章。采用双盲评分法制定并应用了质量评估框架。对每项研究在基线分析和最终分析之间丢失/排除的数据进行了量化,并强调了主要挑战。据观察,HC+女性研究的平均总体得分(81%)高于HC-女性研究(46%)。虽然HC+女性文章中很少提及辍学率,但HC-组的参与者/数据丢失率平均为22.1%。HC-组的参与者流失率与总体得分呈正相关(r = .504,p = .02)。与涉及 HC- 妇女的研究相比,涉及 HC+ 妇女的研究可能更容易实现高质量的研究。针对 HC- 女性的研究似乎面临着更多的实际挑战,如跟踪月经周期和针对月经周期的特定(亚)阶段,以及技术和可行性方面的限制。因此,尽管存在设计此类研究的框架,但对现有文献的质量评估强调了其在研究实施方面的挑战。

Female Exercise Metabolism: Quality Assessment of Existing Knowledge Base and Key Challenges in Study Design.

A better understanding of the practical and methodological challenges inherent in accurately tracking female hormonal status would enhance the clarity of research findings in exercise metabolism. The purpose of this study was to conduct an objective assessment of the quality of existing literature in this area and to provide a general overview of the practical conditions and issues encountered in studies investigating substrate metabolism during exercise in women, both in those using (HC+) or not using (HC-) hormonal contraceptives. Forty-four articles were identified through systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and searches on PubMed/MEDLINE. A quality assessment framework was developed and applied using a double-blind scoring approach. The loss/exclusion of data between baseline and final analyses per study was quantified, and the main challenges were highlighted. A higher mean global score was observed in studies conducted among HC+ women (81%) than those among HC- women (46%). Although the dropout rates were rarely mentioned in HC+ women articles, the mean rate of participant/data loss in HC- groups was 22.1%. The rate of HC- participant loss was positively correlated with the global score (r = .504, p = .02). High-quality research may be easier to achieve in studies involving HC+ women compared with those involving HC- women. Studies on HC- women seem to face more practical challenges, such as tracking the menstrual cycle and targeting specific (sub)phases of the menstrual cycle, along with technical and feasibility limitations. Thus, although the framework for designing such studies exists, the quality assessment of the available literature emphasizes its challenge in terms of research implementation.
