""Women are not small men," and more research is needed to understand the differences. The Women's Health Programme aims to use scientific studies, questionnaires, and athlete feedback to better understand how female athletes operate during endurance events."
"The data will ultimately be used as a stepping stone for providing clear advice to the public. We want our data to be accessible to all athletes, whatever their level, so that they can apply these principles to their training and performance."
The Women's Health Programme seeks to improve understanding of female-specific physiological challenges in ultrarunning. It will collect data at international races to enhance the safety and participation of female athletes. Despite increased female participation in trail running, research on physiological and psychological factors affecting performance is limited. Key research areas include menstrual health, pregnancy, hormonal health, and hydration. The program aims to provide accessible data and clear advice for athletes of all levels, promoting better health and performance in ultrarunning.
