The Gender Data Gap for Women Athletes with Christine Yu

In today's episode, Kate interviews the journalist Christine Yu about her book Up to Speed: The Groundbreaking Science of Women Athletes. Kate asks Christine why we have such limited knowledge about women's bodies, looking at the historical and cultural biases that have led women to being excluded from sports science research. We talk about the importance of understanding your menstrual cycle, how to work with your biology, and the myths about women's bodies that still persist. We finish off the episode by chatting about what changes are still needed for women's sports, fitness research, gender equity, and more.   instagram.com/cyu88 instagram.com/kateglavan instagram.com/seamossgirliesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
