What this work gives Aellic

Umbrella review of meta-analyses and systematic reviews on cycle-phase-driven training: “it is premature to conclude that short-term fluctuations in reproductive hormones appreciably influence acute exercise performance or longer-term strength or hypertrophic adaptations”.

Correction of 25 July 2026

The registry quoted “highly premature” — the word “highly” does not appear in the original.

The entry on the register was wrong. It was not replaced but kept, with what holds instead standing next to it.
