Are you struggling to return to exercise after a viral infection? Here is a step-by-step guide + overview of research on training after flu, COVID-19 and with Long COVID movementkitchen.co.uk/blog/r… #RPE #postviral #returntoexercise #sportsscience
Hearing the story of the hygiene poverty in our schools literally made me cry. This is such a noble project! Thank you so much for making it happen! ❤️ crowdfunder.co.uk/p/sudsinsc…
I just published "Hormones and The Gut" exploring the link between oestrogen, gut microbiome and menopause movementkitchen.co.uk/blog/h… #WomensHealth #menopause #gutmicrobiome #guthealth
Just arrived in Cardiff for the @EveryWomanFest_ The first UK festival dedicated to women's health, breaking taboos around #genderhealthgap #periods, #pelvichealth and #perimenopause everywomanfest.com/

These are my teammates. We are Olympic champions. Three of us tried to give birth. Two of us experienced near-death complications. One of us died. We have to, and we will do more. Tori’s death cannot and will not be in vain.

This is exciting! Endometriosis could be linked to a bacterial infection and maybe even treated with antibiotics. Hope there will be more studies to explore the connection of endometriosis and the microbiome! nature.com/articles/d41586-0… #WomensHealth #endometriosis
So glad to see more biomechanical studies on runners with breasts! Increasing breast support improves knee joint stiffness and the stability of the knee joint in treadmill running. Wear a good bra girls! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… #femaleathlete #biomechanics #running

Just completed a great workshop on intra-abdominal pressure and strength training with Antony Lo
@physiodetective. Why is Valsalva manoeuvre different from bearing down? Why getting up from a chair could generate more pressure than a sit-up? Check it out! tinyurl.com/ye2akr48
University of Hull is looking to develop the first non-invasive diagnostic test for endometriosis. Please volunteer if you can! #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth #endometriosis #research #womenshealth
Are you interested in helping us develop a urine test for endometriosis? We are looking for healthy volunteers, people aged 18-50 with regular periods and no symptoms of endometriosis. If you would like any extra information please feel free to email, call or DM me. @uniofhull

Have you recently given birth or are about to give birth?
I am completing a study investigating how and where pain presents itself after childbirth.

Reflexive pelvic floor training using high-impact whole-body movements has the potential to replace isolated pelvic floor exercises in women with stress urinary incontinence. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… #WomensHealth #SUI #pelvicfloor #research
Why are women still underrepresented in science, even in countries that pioneer gender equality? It's not up to the individuals, it's the culture. #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience #DiversityandInclusion nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

**Seeking Participants for a New Research Study at @cardiffmet in collaboration with @IzzyMoorePhD @ABSPhysio**
Our study aims to examine the running biomechanics of postpartum women with and without symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. More details in thread.
It's shocking how quickly we lose muscle with immobilisation. The calves are the first to go => less ankle power => slower gait, characteristic of ageing. Much of what we think of as ageing is a consequence of immobility #ageing #sarcopenia #menopause pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3610…
Finally, an anatomy model that includes the remaining 49.6% of the world's population! The way to ending medical gender bias starts with education #womenshealth

Me, very tired and happy, having defended my thesis on how high levels of endurance training can slow down the age-related changes in running biomechanics. Next? Probably sleep 😴 Then, possibly looking for funding for a PhD 😉
Studying highly trained master athletes in their 50s and 60s who keep moving and training offers a glimpse into the genuine biological human ageing without the sedentarism of our culture.
It's amazing how much of the age-related decline can be slowed down as you keep moving and challenging your body. We, humans, are so much tougher than what we think 💪❤️
