The Science of Women Athletes

If you’ve ever scratched your head (or shaken your fist!) at the gender gap in scientific research, this episode is required listening. Christine Yu, the author of the about-to-be-published Up to Speed: The Groundbreaking Science of Women Athletes, is the guest. Along with hosts Sarah and Amanda, Christine discusses:  -the staggering gender disparity of sports science research;  -practical ways that gaps in sports science affect women;  -being part of the “golden age” of books aimed at women runners; and, -why she has hope for the future of scientific research on women.   In the intro chitchat, Amanda and Sarah commiserate about being injured. Christine joins the conversation around 9:45.      When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.
