Inadequate research on female health and performance; the complexity of the research; low menstrual health literacy of athletes, coaches, and support staff; and ethical and cultural sensitivities are all recognized as barriers to effective health monitoring for females in sports. Frameworks have been developed for academics to follow to help improve the quality of female-specific research. However, a similar resource that enables correct terminology, and use of health monitoring techniques has not been provided for sporting organizations, coaches, support staff or athletes. Therefore, this critical commentary presents a new resource, the Menstrual Health Manager. This resource may be used to determine the level of menstrual health monitoring detail that may be used by organisations, coaches or athletes, and specifies what reproductive health details the data will provide. This resource aims to provide organizations and coaches with a means of understanding the data that inform their decisions for female athletes. Utilization of this resource may aid in the consistent use of terminology and methods for female-specific health monitoring in both sports and research.

对女性健康和表现的研究不足；研究的复杂性；运动员、教练员和后勤人员的月经健康素养较低；道德和文化敏感性都被认为是对体育运动中的女性进行有效健康监测的障碍。已经制定了供学者遵循的框架，以帮助提高针对女性的研究质量。然而，尚未为体育组织、教练、后勤人员或运动员提供能够使用正确术语和使用健康监测技术的类似资源。因此，这篇批评性评论提出了一种新资源，即月经健康管理器。该资源可用于确定组织、教练或运动员可以使用的月经健康监测细节的水平，并指定数据将提供哪些生殖健康细节。该资源旨在为组织和教练提供一种了解数据的方法，为女运动员的决策提供依据。利用这一资源可能有助于在运动和研究中一致使用女性特定健康监测的术语和方法。
