Summary

The menstrual cycle is a term to describe the sequence of events that occur in body as it prepares for the possibility of pregnancy each month. The average length of a menstrual cycle is 28 days. However a cycle can range in length from 21 days to about 35 days and still normal.

The data will be collected ffrom ladies gym and muscle work gym by using non-probability convenience sampling technique. The age between 18-25 years participants will perform the aerobic exercises during the different phases of menstrual cycle. A sample will be divided into two groups each group have 21 participants. The Group A control group will Education and Self-Management about health and fitness and perform the walk. Group B intervention group will be given the Aerobic exercise (cycling, treadmill and running). The participants assessed with Borg scale for rate perceived exertion, berg balance questionnaire use for performance test parameters and menstrual stress questionnaire use for behaviour. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 26.0.
