No indexed bibliographic record confirms that exact 2024 narrative review exists.

The Claim

In 2024, M. Alnefaie, W. K. Abdelbasset, and R. Alotaibi published a narrative review titled "The impact of the menstrual cycle on speed, strength, and endurance in female athletes."

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

The claimed publication is not supported by the available indexed evidence. Sources in the record show related reviews and a 2024 Alnefaie article on similar performance variables, but that paper is not a narrative review and does not have the stated title or co-authors. No reliable bibliographic source confirms the exact publication described.

Caveats

  • A similar 2024 Alnefaie article exists, but it is an original research study rather than a narrative review.
  • Related reviews on menstrual cycle and athletic performance may create confusion because their titles and authors overlap in topic but not in bibliographic details.
  • The only source asserting the exact citation is non-citable background material that itself says the publication could not be verified.
