Menstrual Cycle, Body Weight, and Physical ActivityAbstract
The menstrual cycle is the count of the first period and the next period, generally at intervals of 21-35 days. An irregular menstrual cycle signifies difficulties with ovulation. Body weight and physical activity are the most relevant factors in the development of menstrual cycle problems in teenage females attending Senior High School, according to preliminary research conducted on the subject. The objective of this research endeavor is to ascertain the correlation between physical activity level, body weight, and the menstrual cycle of adolescent females. This research is quantitative and uses analytical approaches combined with cross-sectional research. The research instrument consisted of observation sheets and IPAQ questionnaires, and the sample size had a total of 110 teenage females who were chosen through the process of purposive sampling-analysis of the data using the Chi-square statistics. The univariate analysis revealed that a significant proportion of adolescent females (64.5%) had a regular menstrual cycle, light physical activity, and body weight. According to the findings of a bivariate study, the incidence of irregular menstrual periods was higher among individuals with average weight (20%) and heavy exercise (35.5%). The findings of the Chi-square test indicated that there was a correlation between the menstrual cycle of adolescent females and their body weight as well as their level of physical activity (p = 0.000). A conclusion can be drawn that there is a connection between the menstrual cycle of adolescent females and their body weight, as well as their level of physical activity. As a suggestion, it is hoped that teenage girls will maintain control of their weight and make arrangements for physical exercise in order to prevent the emergence of menstrual cycle abnormalities
