Summary
This study follows 30 elite female cyclists before, during, and after an altitude training camp to see how sleep and menstrual cycle changes affect training results. Participants will track their sleep with diaries and devices, and provide saliva, urine, and blood samples to measure hormone levels. The goal is to understand why some athletes respond better to altitude training than others.
