Women athletes may experience disturbances in their reproductive cycles due to factors such as intense physical training, low body fat, and inadequate caloric intake, which can lead to a condition known as hypothalamic amenorrhea. The stress of rigorous training can disrupt hormonal balance, affecting the hypothalamus's regulation of reproductive hormones. Additionally, the psychological stress and pressure to maintain performance can further exacerbate these hormonal disturbances. As a result, menstrual irregularities, including missed periods or changes in cycle regularity, can occur.
