The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change in dynamic and static balance ability during the menstrual cycle among young women. The subjects were young healthy women (n = 12, age 20.4 ± 1.2 years) with regular exercise and a normal menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle was divided into 5 phases : Menstrual, Follicular, Ovulatory, Early luteal and Late luteal. Measurements were taken using the dynamic balance test, static balance test and looseness test. The dynamic balance test did not change during the menstrual cycle. Length/Time within the static balance test increased in the late luteal phase compared to other menstrual cycle phases. The deviation of the mean of X within the static balance test increased in the follicular and late luteal phase and decreased in the ovulatory phase. Also, the deviation of the mean of X increased in the follicular phase compared to the menstrual phase and decreased in the menstrual and early luteal phases compared to the follicular and ovulatory. Left arm upper of laxity in hand on the back test within looseness test increased in the menstrual and early luteal phases compared to other menstrual cycle phases. These results suggest that static balance ability changes during the menstrual cycle.

The purposes of this study were to examine the effect of teeth clenching on isokinetic muscle strength during isokinetic elbow (60, 120 degrees per second) and knee (60, 180 degrees per second) extension and flexion using a BIODEX isokinetic dynamometer. Twenty-five American football players (19.6±1.3 years) with normal occlusion served as subjects. Isokinetic muscle strength of the elbow and knee, extension and flexion strength were measured during tooth clenching (Bite), biting with a soft biteplate (Soft), biting with a hard biteplate (Hard), and without tooth clenching (No-bite). Analysis of the peak torque per body weight and the time to peak torque yielded the following results:1) The peak torque per body weight of elbow extension with Soft was significantly higher than with Bite and No-bite (120 deg/s, p<0.05).2) The time to peak torque of elbow extension with Hard was significantly slower than that with No-bite and Soft (60 deg/s, p<0.05), and those with Bite and Hard were significantly slower than that with No-bite (120 deg/s, p<0.05).3) The peak torque per unit body weight of knee flexion with Bite and Hard were significantly lower than that with No-bite (60 deg/s, p<0.05), and that with Bite was significantly lower than that with No-bite (180 deg/s, p<0.05).4) The time to peak torque of knee flexion with Soft and Hard were significantly slower than that with No-bite (60 deg/s, p<0.05), and that with Bite, Soft and Hard were significantly slower than that with No-bite (180 deg/s, p<0.05).These findings suggest that tooth clenching and the materials of the biteplate are factors that lead to increased isokinetic muscle strength of elbow extension and to decreased isokinetic muscle strength of knee flexion. Thus it appears that tooth clenching and the materials of the bite-plate do not influence isokinetic elbow flexion muscle strength or knee extension muscle strength.
