Abstract
Objective: To find the prevalence of generalized joint laxity due to menstrual cycle in physically active women Methodology: The study group consisted of 90 women having regular (28 days) menstrual cycle, aged between 18-30 years, who exercised for min of 1-3 hrs per day for 5-6 days a week for at least 3 months were selected. BEIGHTON score was used to measure generalised joint laxity. The score was taken on 1st day,10-13th day and 20-23rd day of menstrual cycle. Results: The results showed that there was no significant difference in generalised joint laxity during various phases of menstrual cycle (p value >0.9999) whereas extremely significant difference was found when compared with individual sport (p value<0.001) Conclusion: On the basis of this study, it was concluded that, there is no significant difference in the joint laxity during various phases of menstrual cycle in physically active women. However generalized laxity studied during various phases of menstrual cycle in females playing different sports was extremely significant.
