New research: Minimal effect of day of menstrual cycle on sleep, but menstrual cycle symptoms were associated with sleep characteristics in elite football players pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39048089/ @richjohnston88 @clareMINAHAN @pearson_madi @IJSPPjournal
Happy #InternationalWomensDay2024 !! Here at SPRINT, we have some incredible female researchers who are living and breathing this year's IWD theme of "Count Her In. Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress". We asked them what they love about what they do... 🧵
“For every female that says, ‘I don’t perform so well when I have my period’, there will be one who says, ‘That’s when I perform best or that’s when I won my gold medal’.” Groundbreaking stuff from @Gabbi_Munteanu & @pearson_madi @JonathonWeakle1 impact.acu.edu.au/global/bridgin…
Doing our bit to bridge the #GenderGap in #SportsScience 👇 SPRINT PhD candidates @Gabbi_Munteanu & @pearson_madi exciting research aims to expand the knowledge base on the links between the menstrual cycle and physical performance 🏋️♀️🤼♀️⛹️♀️ 👉 impact.acu.edu.au/global/bridgin…
@C__Gardiner @ShonaHalson Coffee drinking should stop 8.8 hours before bed time, and pre-workout a whopping 13.2 hours before bed time!
Just how close to bedtime is too close for your caffeine? ☕️ 🛌 Massive thanks to all involved in the first paper of my PhD @ShonaHalson @JonathonWeakle1 @LouiseMBurke @CBTmin @ThePhaseShifter @niravmaniar91

It’s excellent to see more work being attempted in this area. Some amazing research investigating periodised resistance training across the menstrual cycle, led by PhD student @Gabbi_Munteanu from within the @SPRINT_ACU, will soon be getting underway 🏋️♀️
