It’s essential for athletes to familiarise themselves with their own cycles to understand how they’re affected throughout, as well as being confident to communicate any menstrual cycle-related issues to support staff and coaches. This awareness can guide adjustments in training when required.
Below is a series of opportunity for GBR/ADP athletes, coaches and parents to increase their knowledge and understanding on female health and how it relates to athletic performance.
Invites will be sent out early December.
