🔵 Female Youth Athletes — Train Smart With Your Cycle
Your hormones shift all month…
and smart training shifts with them.
When you understand your cycle, you can train harder, recover better, and reduce injury risk. 👇
🟦 Follicular Phase (Days 1–13)
Focus:
• Build strength
• Increase intensity
• Skill development
Watch for:
• Low iron/energy during early period days
• Ease in if cramps or fatigue are high
⸻
🟨 Ovulation (~Day 14)
Focus:
• Peak power
• Speed & agility
• Heavy lifts / max effort
Watch for:
• ⚠️ Higher ACL/ligament injury risk
• Prioritize good landing mechanics
• Emphasize warm-up & stability work
⸻
🟩 Luteal Phase (Days 15–28)
Focus:
• Maintain strength (early phase)
• Conditioning
• Recovery & mobility (late phase)
Watch for:
• Increased fatigue late phase
• Higher body temperature
• Possible drop in coordination late phase
⸻
✨ Bottom line:
Train WITH your body — not against it.
At VIDA Performance, we help female athletes build strength, stay healthy, and perform at their best all month long.
