Our Why
|
Having worked in elite sport at the professional and Olympic level with both male and female athletes and teams, we have seen first hand the differences in resources that can be available to both male and female sports.
|
Working in both Sports and Women's Health physiotherapy roles, we have also experienced the gap in female specific healthcare and awareness
that exists across the board from athletes through to their support teams. |
We must all become aware of the challenges and benefits of
reducing the existing gaps in female sport and performance
reducing the existing gaps in female sport and performance
Research GapFemales were traditionally excluded from research because of the reported difficulties in studying data due to female hormonal fluctuations.
|
Research LagDespite recent increases in emerging female specific performance research, momentum must be maintained to reduce the usual lag time (17 years!) between research findings being put into clinical practice.
|
Power of SportSport has a great ability to break down barriers (gender, race, ethnicity), and hence watching females perform at their best can be a powerful tool.
