Physical activity data was obtained by filling out a form and the results were calculated by using the PAR/PAL method. Statistical analysis used a chi-square test and used a fisher exact test value.

Results: The results of the reserach showed that there is no significant relationship between the intake of iron, folic acid, vitamin C and physical activity on menstrual cycle (p > 0.05).
