Does exercise effect when your period comes?

Question

I play basketball almost every day for 11 months but I stopped all of august. I was wondering if my period would change

Answer

Yes. When I was still an active athlete I had crazy sporadic periods. When I played rougher sports (soccer & rugby), I had 2 or 3 a month. Sport can have a very strenuous effect on your cycle.

Answer

It could, exercise and sports play a fairly big role in your cycle, too little or too much could have an impact on your cycles.

Answer

It's very common for girls who participate in sports to have "off" periods. When I played sports in high school, I went a few months without a period. I wasn't sexually active at the time either.
