Arsenal and England football player, Jordan Nobbs joins Charlie and James to discuss the impact the menstrual cycle has on her training, performance and nutrition as well as her commentary on being a woman in a male-dominated sport.
Historically, menstrual cycles and female athletes have been left at the bottom of the priority list amongst research labs and sports scientists.
It’s a heavily male-dominated industry and overtime, this has led to studies being carried out on males and the results being applied to females, disregarding physical differences.
Firstly, you’ll hear Jordan Nobbs talk about how the industry can be improved, as well as how more research into periods heightening injury risk, could have prevented her from missing the world cup in 2019.
Expert on menstrual cycles, Dr Kirsty Elliott-Sale, then joins to share her insights on how women must become a priority in research in order to ensure female athletes are no longer viewed as subordinate gender in sports science. Follow us @scienceinsport on Instagram.
