The Groundbreaking Science of Women Athletes

Sports and health journalist Christine Yu joins the podcast to
shed light on the need for inclusive research and guidelines in
sports and exercise science, and the transformative solutions
that can empower women athletes at every stage of life.


Christine’s ground-breaking book - “Up To Speed” -
 addresses the gender data gap head-on. She exposes the
limitations of current research and guidelines, revealing how
they often fail to consider the unique experiences and bodies of
women athletes. Through insightful interviews with researchers
and advocates, she highlights innovative approaches proposed to
enhance the athletic lives of women and girls, dispelling myths
and biases while championing real science.


In this conversation, we discuss:


the challenges faced by women runners throughout different
stages of their lives, such as adolescence, pregnancy, and
menopause. 

the crucial role of research in effectively addressing these
challenges

notable success stories and breakthroughs in sports science
that have directly benefited women runners 

the importance of promoting greater awareness and
understanding of inclusivity in sports science research, and how
change can be facilitated within the field and the general
public.
