Main outcomes.

First author, year Physical performance measurement Results
Strength Endurance Strength Endurance
Tounsi (2018) Lower limb explosive power was measured by the Five Jump Test (5JT) Speed endurance was measured using the Repeated Shuttle-Sprint Ability Test (RSSA) ↑ absolute performance in 5JT at 17:30 compared to 7:30 h ↔ YYIRT1 by ToD or MC.
↑ RSSA at 17:30 compared to 7:30 h
Anaerobic endurance was measured by Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test (YYIRT) ↔ 5JT by MC. ↔ RSSA by MC.
↔ ToD and MC interaction in 5JT. ↔ ToD and MC interaction in 5JT.
Bambaeichi (2004) PTfle and PText at 1.05 and 3.14 rad/s ↑ MILS under ES at 18:00 by 2.6% than at 06:00 h
↑ PText at 3.14 rad/s at O than at M, at mid-L than at M and mid-F
MVC of knee EXT and FLE were measured at 0 rad/s and 60°of knee flexion ↑ PTfle at 1.05 rad/s at O than mid-F and mid-L
↑ MVCfle at O than at mid-F and mid-L
MILS of knee EXT were performed with percutaneous electrical twitches ↔ between ToD and MC. MC had a more significant effect than ToD
Birch (2002) MILS at knee height Endurance capability at 45% MILS. ↑ MILS by 8.3% at 18:00 h in the mid-L ↔ between ToD and MC in endurance capability at 45% MILS.
↔ MILS by ToD in the mid-F
Giacomoni (1999) Maximal cycling power (Pc) by force-velocity test ↑ Pc in the afternoon in the mid-F
↔ Pc by ToD in the mid-L

↔, no significant interaction/difference; ↑, significant increase/improvement; 5JT, Five Jump Test; RSSA, Repeated Shuttle-Sprint Ability Test; YYIRT1, Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test level 1; PText, peak torque of knee extensors; PTfle, peak torque of knee flexors; MVC, maximal voluntary isometric contraction; EXT, extensors; FLE, flexors; ES, electrical stimulation; MILS, maximal isometric lifting strength; Pc, maximal cycling power; M, menstruation; O, ovulation; F, follicular phase; L, luteal phase; MC, menstrual cycle phase; ToD, time-of-day.
