In recent years, sport and exercise science has seen significant growth in research focused on female athletes. Alongside the growing momentum in women’s sports, there is increasing recognition of the menstrual cycle as a key factor in female athlete health and performance. Nutrition, among other biopsychosocial factors, plays a central role in supporting menstrual function. In this talk, Dr Cherianne Taim will explore the interplay between the menstrual cycle and nutritional considerations in female athletes. This talk aims to provide evidence-informed understanding of how menstrual cycle physiology intersects with nutrition, while raising awareness of key considerations in supporting the female athlete.
