Summary
The aim of this randomised-controlled trial is to examine whether the timing of oral contraceptive administration affects cognitive function, substrate metabolism and exercise performance.
Participants will attend the laboratory for a familiarisation session, followed by two main trials in which cognition and exercise metabolism and performance are measured. In one trial they will be given their oral contraceptive 60 minutes before testing begins, in the other they will be given a placebo. Following testing (\~60 minutes), participants will consume the alternative pill.
