Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
The endocrine system, of which sex hormones are a part, and the nervous system both can exert strong effects far beyond their local tissue of origin. This chapter first examines how sex hormones and their metabolites affect the nervous system at the molecular level. Since singular sex hormones do not exist in isolation in humans, the effect of sex hormones on strength and motor performance are then viewed through the lens of the menstrual cycle. While there are clear and repeatable effects of sex hormones on the nervous system at the molecular level, reliably reproducing these effects on motor activity at the clinical level remains a challenge. Evidence suggests that maximal strength may be lower, but fine motor control may be higher in the mid luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. However, not all studies have replicated these findings; the probable causes of this discrepancy are unrecognized menstrual cycle irregularities, intraindividual differences and a nonuniform distribution of sex hormones in tissues around the human body. Given the potential for sex hormones to both enhance and limit human performance, clinicians should be aware of their patients or clients menstrual status but cautious in attempting to leverage the nervous system effects of sex hormones towards training or rehabilitation enhancement.
