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.
