Women generally start menstruating from the age of twelve to fifteen, once every twenty-eight days for three to seven days at a time. During menstruation, sometimes there will be some phenomena such as backache, irritability and constipation, which are normal physiological reactions. Women who are healthy and have normal menstruation can take appropriate physical exercise during menstruation. Proper physical activity is conducive to promoting metabolism, improving pelvic blood circulation, relieving pelvic congestion, and reducing negative emotions such as abdominal distension and pain.

Appropriate physical activity can also make the process of excitement and inhibition of cerebral cortex more coordinated, help to regulate emotions, reduce irritability and make people feel happy. During menstrual exercise, we should pay attention to choosing moderate activities with little exercise. You can do some light activities such as radio exercises in the first two days after menstruation, and the amount of activities in the third and fourth days can be increased, such as playing volleyball, badminton and table tennis. After five or six days, you can participate in normal sports activities as usual.

Attention should be paid to avoiding excessive running, jumping and weight-bearing strength exercise between menstrual periods. Exercise time should not be too long, generally 15 minutes to 30 minutes is appropriate. For women who generally have no sports foundation, it is not appropriate to participate in competitions, cold water sports, swimming and other sports during menstruation (but well-trained lesbians and athletes can participate in these activities appropriately). Because of the intensity of the competition and the stimulation of cold water exercise to the body, this will increase the mental burden. Because there is no strong adaptability at ordinary times, it is easy to produce endocrine disorders and other diseases, leading to menstrual disorders. Pay special attention to your health during menstruation.

Anyone who has obvious abdominal pain, lower abdomen and general discomfort during menstruation should stop physical exercise; If menstruation is abnormal, such as too long (more than one week) or too short (less than three days), too much or too little menstrual blood, frequent menstruation (less than three weeks between periods), inflammation of internal genitalia, etc., physical exercise can be stopped during menstruation.
