FUTPRO: A study included that 77 % of Spanish players are affected by their performance of menstruation Football Sport

84.6 % of professional players in Spain suffered from training or playing menstruationAnd 76.9 % add that this pain prevented them from giving them at the highest level. On the day of menstruation, Fotbro’s Union published a menstrual study conducted between more than 40 % of the Spanish league players in the league due to menstrual pain, wrong information or fear of staining their pants. The conclusion of Amanda Guterres, the president of the federation, is clear: “There is no information in the teams. Professionals who surround players and deal with their physical performance must have sexual training.” “But,” he adds. “Menstruation should not be considered an obstacle, but as a natural factor.”

The symptoms of players differ, although at least, at least, at least, You have some during your menstruation. Most of them feel tired (73.1 %), physical pain (53.8 %) or even diarrhea (23.1 %). Nevertheless, nearly 70 % of the players admit that their club has never provided information or resources to understand how their referee can affect their sports performance, and more – 76.9 % – they believe that it lacks support from the club in this aspect. “There is nothing simple as in the bathrooms of some clubs, there is pressure,” explains. The same percentage of players believe they are Staff It has no necessary knowledge about menstruation and its effect on physical and performance fitness. However, the group of them is not ashamed to talk about the matter with their clubs. “They have no problem talking about the base. So why is this lack of support and resources?” Guterres, who also refers to a social and cultural problem, is as outside the context of football. “The problem is not them, it is the infrastructure and what is there.”

Often this pain, in addition to reducing performance, can lead to injuries, and only 23.1 % of players admit that the club suggested that training to the menstrual cycle. Although it is a low percentage, Guterres wants to be “positive”. “This means that there are clubs that do so, and that the rest can comment some players that their clubs have daily applications or questionnaires that have questions about whether they have the rule, even with details. Then they try to adapt their training,” the president says.

Last year, FIFA has provided a new procedure that protects football players more: any player can absent from training or matches without being economically harmful if he has menstruation. However, they do not do it. “It is the system we live in. If you stop, you have the risk of losing the train. This is the fear of a football player. There are players who came to play the injured or uncomfortable, the rule is similar to the procedure. We have this natural pain, not so.”

According to the Kojat Institute in your A study on the occurrence of an front cross infection (LCA) in football players for womenand Players suffer between 1.5 and 3 times more than men than men. The hormonal cycle can be linked, because, since the age of 14, with expulsion, the woman tends to break more, according to the same study. In fact, FIFA funded a study at Kingston University, which will verify this June if these hormonal fluctuations during menstrual cycles may contribute to increasing these pests.

Another football player is clothes. According to the FutPro study, 92.3 % of players are afraid of staining their pants while playing or training. After Eurocup for 2022, The English team won the battle against white pants. “We hope to change it. White is not very practical when we are in that period of the month,” said Beth Meed. First, Nike refused, but in the face of the World Cup the following year, the American brand accepted and changed the color of traditional equipment, as well as creating some pants to avoid menstruation leakage. From the 2023/24 season, Manchester City stopped wearing his white clothes to change it to the agate, as it is the first professional team to take the move. In Spain, the Royal Society adopted its equipment with a blue brand in the area of ​​the Muzabir from its pants.

The study, for the president, is a “invitation to institutions”. “We have asked to speak. You have to look for a way to ask all clubs, central, as it is,” the president is asking. “The formation of people around the players must be mandatory. There are training procedures in which the player is respected for the player, collecting data, and that there are already doing clubs. There are educational materials, sports equipment, and knowing the products they have at their disposal …”, FUTPRO suggests. The problem, for Guterres, is the sexual perspective, the necessary “for women’s football to the highest level all over the world, as it has shown.” This happens to speak, understand and explain menstruation.
