Abstract
The menstrual cycle experienced is undoubtedly different for each person, even for twin women. Symptoms felt before menstruation also vary, such as dizziness, difficulty concentrating, breast tenderness, sleep disturbances, defecation disorders, increased appetite, acne, fatigue, and excessive anxiety or anxiety. This study aims to describe the menstrual cycle and premenstrual symptoms felt by athletes. This study uses descriptive research, explaining what will be studied and measured with certainty. The approach used is a quantitative approach with the questionnaire method. The sample of this study was all martial arts athletes with centralised PON preparation of as many as 42 people using a total sampling technique. The data collection technique uses a closed questionnaire with yes and no answer options. The data obtained was then analysed using the questionnaire answer value, the percentage value was calculated, and the test was done using chi-square. This study concludes that all athletes have a regular menstrual cycle for <21 days, 28 days, and >35 days. PMS symptoms that do not feel disturbing include sensitivity, sleep disturbances, acne, constipation, and increased appetite. Symptoms that are supposed to be unsettling, such as dizziness, headaches, fatigue, excessive anxiety, and difficulty concentrating. The results of the chi-square test show that by comparing the Asymp, Sig. with the critical value limit of 0.05". In the data tabulation above, it is known that the value of the chi-square analysis results is 0.040 at the confidence level of 0.05 or 95% or α = 0.05. Thus, it can be said that the chi-square is> 0.05. So, it can be concluded that there is no significant difference according to the variable level of PMS experienced between martial arts and nonmartial arts athletes. The coach should coordinate with medical personnel and the nutrition team to find a solution to relieve disturbing symptoms.
