This module advances knowledge developed in previous physiological, sports conditioning and sociology of sport modules. Students will predominantly explore key physiological, but also sociological, factors that are unique to female athletes (e.g. the menstrual cycle, pelvic health, breast support, pregnancy and gender inequalities) and critically evaluate the impact these factors can have on performing in sport. The module will equip students with the theoretical knowledge and applied understanding that are required to support female athletes at different stages of their lifespan.
