Abstract: It was the purpose of this study to investigate the relationships among basal body temperature, simple reaction time and movement time at six specific phases of the menstrual cycle. The following questions were posed for this study: 1. Did basal body temperature vary at specific phases of the menstrual cycle? 2. Did simple reaction time change with specific phases of the menstrual cycle? 3. Did movement time change with specific phases of the menstrual cycle? 4. What was the relationship, if any, between basal body temperature and simple reaction time at specific phases of the menstrual cycle? 5. What was the relationship, if any, between basal body temperature and movement time at specific phases of the menstrual cycle? The subjects for this study were 12 female, student volunteers enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro during the 1974-75 academic year. The mean age of the subjects was 28 years. Each subject was required to complete 50 trials for both simple reaction and movement time on each of her six testing days. The equipment used for the collection of data consisted of two basic units, the experimental control unit and the subject response unit.
