It is a well-known factor that every woman, during their reproductive years, are subjected to various limitations, due to the hormones, flowing into their blood stream directly, according to the mensural cycles. ?For a long time, this was a neglected factor of women’s health, and was not so prominent, as they learnt to adjust their mental or physical workloads accordingly, without expressing any outward complaint.
Now, with so many women entering the sports field, this is a vital factor, to be given proper attention. Though not directly, We had heard that the athletics have to keep, maintaining a minimum weight, so that they can achieve the highest performance.? During their long training period too, they have to watch for their diet strictly and also have to take care of their mensural dates, not clashing with their final performing date. This produces such a stress, both mentally and physically, for the women of athletics, which is seldom understood by the outsiders, who only watch for their medals.
Talking about the women entering wrestling or boxing, the rules are different, as they need a good stamina to perform. These women who participate has to watch, their weight, along with their hormone’s cycles, and this causes too much of stress for them. Hormones cannot be totally controlled by medications, and stress always affects the hormones.? It is a known factor that all females gain weight during their monthly cycles just because of the hormones.? So why the international competition like OLYMPICS had not taken notice of this factor of women wrestlers is surprising.
It is high time that the rules formed for athletics a long time back, are to be revised as more females are entering these fields only now. Our best performing wrestler could have gained 100 grams weight, due to the stress of the on-coming finals, and disqualifying her for this is not at all justified. Not to an Indian, but to any women such marginal changes, had to be accepted, just because this is Nature and not in their control.
