Methodological considerations for studies in sport and exercise nutrition with women as participants

Data on eumenorrheic females is scarce and is often low to moderate quality, which is due to a number of reasons: (i) there is a shortage of specialist knowledge on female physiology, in particular endocrinology, in the sport and nutrition science community; (ii) until recently, there has been a reluctance to include female participants in research studies, due to the numerous adaptations, to experimental design, needed to incorporate female specific considerations, such as the menstrual cycle; (iii) there is no consensus on the terminology and methodological approaches needed to produce high-quality studies.  These issues have undoubtedly slowed the pursuit of knowledge in this field of research.What will I gain from watching this webinar?Understand the specific considerations needed when employing eumenorrheic women as participants in sport and nutrition science-based research (Elliott-Sale et al., 2021).Consider participant selection criteria and adaptations for experimental design.Develop an understanding of the need to promote more high-quality research in eumenorrheic females.  Tips for why research cannot simply be applied across male and female physiology.  Continuing Professional Development (CPD)This webinar has been endorsed by the Association for Nutrition (AfN) (EN175).afn_cpd_en175.pngTuesday, 29 March, 2022 -12:00 to13:00United KingdomIs this an online event? : OnlineDisplayed text for weblink button : Register
