Abstract
The menstrual cycle significantly influences athletic performance among Women Cricket players due to hormonal fluctuations affecting metabolism, hydration, energy levels, and muscle function. This research investigates how strategic nutritional adjustments for different menstrual phases impact performance outcomes in collegiate Women Cricket players. By combining quantitative performance metrics with qualitative self-reports, the study examines whether tailored nutrition can mitigate phase-specific performance declines, optimize recovery, and enhance competitive outcomes. Findings indicate that appropriately timed carbohydrate intake, iron-rich diets, and electrolyte management correlate with improvements in stamina, mood stability, and perceived exertion levels. This research highlights the importance of personalized nutrition strategies as a non-invasive method to support female Women Cricket players performance throughout the menstrual cycle.
