Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill launches an app giving women exercises according to their menstrual cycle.
Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill says she could have been an even better athlete if she had trained around her periods.
It aims to tell users how to use their hormones to their advantage by exercising in different ways at different times of the month.Dame Jessica remembers starting her period in the middle of the heptathlon at the Junior European Championships in Lithuania, in 2005. "I remember just running that 800m thinking I'm trying to run for a gold medal here but I'm also very aware that I've just started my period."That was something that really stuck out to me as an athlete."Period tracking is a tool anyone who menstruates, not just professional athletes, could benefit from, experts say. There are a number of popular apps on the market, including FitrWoman, Clue and Flo.
"Moving forward, not only do we need to increase the quantity of research we're getting but we also need to make it better so we can get more accurate conclusions on female physiology."With so many factors that can influence menstruation - from stress and obesity to polycystic ovaries - Ms McNulty warned against "one-size-fits-all" advice.
