The problem of menstrual dysfunction in women who engage in endurance training for participation in distance running events has been studied. Through survey, selected aspects of the personal, training, menstrual, and contraceptive histories of 168 women who were defined as runners, joggers, or controls were evaluated. In addition, defined subsets of the study subjects were evaluated for serum levels of pituitary and ovarian hormones and determination of percentage body fat. The data show significant differences among the 3 groups. It is concluded that menstrual dysfunction in distance runners is a real phenomenon. Presumably this is related to decreased percentage of body fat and/or minimal ovarian function secondary to diminished hypothalamic or pituitary hormone secretion.
针对参与长跑赛事而进行耐力训练的女性月经功能失调问题展开了研究。通过调查，对168名被定义为跑步者、慢跑者或对照组的女性的个人、训练、月经及避孕史等选定方面进行了评估。此外，对研究对象的特定子集进行了垂体和卵巢激素血清水平评估以及体脂百分比测定。数据显示三组之间存在显著差异。得出的结论是，长跑运动员的月经功能失调是一种真实存在的现象。据推测，这与体脂百分比降低和/或下丘脑或垂体激素分泌减少继发的卵巢功能减退有关。
