ÖZET
 Amaç: Kadınların menstrual döngüsünün farklı fazlarında taban altı basınç duyusu, denge ve fiziksel performanslarında meydana gelen değişimi incelemek amacıyla planlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 20-40 yaş arasındaki 24 sağlıklı kadın alındı. Değerlendirmeler foliküler, ovulasyon ve luteal fazda yapıldı. Taban altı basınç duyusu hafif dokunma, vibrasyon ve iki nokta ayrım duyu ölçümü ile değerlendirildi. Fiziksel performans çift bacak ile çömelme testiyle değerlendirildi. Statik denge flamingo denge testi ve dinamik denge Y denge testi ile ölçüldü. Fiziksel aktivite seviyesi, Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi Kısa Formu ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların dominant taraf 1. metatars başı hafif dokunma duyusu foliküler fazda ovulasyon ve luteal fazına göre daha iyi olduğu bulundu (p=0,05). Dominant taraf metatars başı vibrasyon duyusunun luteal fazda, foliküler ve ovulasyon fazına göre daha yüksek olduğu bulundu (p=0,045). Fiziksel performans, ovulasyon fazında foliküler ve luteal fazına göre daha yüksek olduğu bulundu (p=0,001). Statik denge ovulasyon fazında, foliküler ve luteal faza göre daha iyi olduğu bulundu (p=0,003). Sonuç: Menstrual döngü fazlarında meydana gelen değişimlerin kadınların taban altı basınç duyusu, fiziksel performans ve dengesini değiştirebileceği, bu nedenle egzersiz ve diğer fiziksel aktivitelerin planlanmasında menstrual fazlar göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Menstrual döngü; taban altı basınç duyusu; fiziksel performans; denge; fiziksel aktivite
ABSTRACT
 Objective: It was planned to examine the changes in women's plantar foot sensation, balance and physical performance in different phases of their menstrual cycle. Material and Methods: 24 healthy women between the ages of 20-40 were included in the study. Evaluations were performed at follicular, ovulation, and luteal phase. Plantar foot sensation was evaluated by light touch, vibration and twopoint discrimination sensation measurement. Physical performance was evaluated with the double-leg squat test. Static balance was measured with the flamingo balance test and dynamic balance with the Y balance test. Physical activity level was assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form. Results: It was found that the light touch sensation of the dominant side 1st metatarsal head of the participants was better in the follicular phase than in the ovulation and luteal phases (p=0,05). It was found that the vibration sensation of the dominant side metatarsal head was higher in the luteal phase than in the follicular and ovulation phases (p=0,045). It was found that physical performance was higher in the ovulation phase than in the follicular and luteal phases (p=0,001). Static balance was found to be better in the ovulation phase than in the follicular and luteal phases (p=0,003). Conclusion: Changes in the menstrual cycle phases can change plantar pressure sensation, physical performance and balance, and therefore have an impact on them; menstrual phases should be taken into consideration when planning exercise and other physical activities.

Keywords: Menstrual cycle; plantar foot sensation; physical performance; balance; physical activity
