ADAPTIVE CHANGES OF GLUCOCORTICOID ACTIVITY IN THE ORGANISMS OF HIGHLY TRAINED FEMALE ATHLETES WITH THE VARIOUS LEVEL OF REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM FUNCTIONING

The article focuses on the interconnection between the level of reproductive system functioning of highly trained female athletes and the level of glucocorticoid activity. In the setting of ovarian menstrual cycle and anovulatory menstrual cycle hypoergic glucocorticoid responses were detected. The range of glucocorticoid response at medium exercise intensity in the setting of ovarian menstrual cycle has a direct dependence on the level of estrogen saturation. In the setting of anovulatory menstrual cycle a narrow range of glucocorticoid response under standard loads is demonstrated.
