Carbohydrate loading and female endurance athletes: Effect of menstrual-cycle phase
Article Abstract:
Three days of carbohydrate loading (CHOL) in female eumenorrheic athletes with 3 days of an isoenergetic normal diet (NORM) is compared to examine the effect of menstrual-cycle phase on performance, muscle-glycogen concentration [glyc] and substrate utilization. It is observed that time-trial performance is not affected by diet (CHOL and NORM) or menstrual-cycle phase, resting [glyc] is lowest and there is no effect of phase on substrate utilization during exercise.

Bone mineral density in young active females: The case of dancers
Article Abstract:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the combined effect of several environmental factors on bone mineral density in a group of highly active young women. Yannakoulia et al., found that a group of elite professional female dancers who practiced long-term intensive exercise had higher total and regional BMD values compared to an age- and weight-matched reference population.

The acute effects of dairy calcium intake on fat metabolism during exercise and endurance exercise performance
Article Abstract:
A pre-loaded time trial protocol is used to examine the effect of acute dairy calcium intake on exercise energy metabolism and endurance performance. It is found that acute dairy calcium intake did not alter fat utilization or endurance performance in trained female runners.
