Listen "Ep 58: Sport, injury, and hormones—mythbusting with Elisa Nédélec"

Episode Synopsis


Sports physical therapist Elisa Nédélec heard so many harmful myths about when and how girls and women should play sport that she decided to start a PhD. In today’s episode, Elisa explains why girls and women should stay active, and what research can (and can’t) tell us about the relationship between reproductive hormones and musculoskeletal injury. Elisa co-leads the FAIR-ACL Project with Professor Kirsty Elliott-Sale, which tracks female athletes’ hormone profiles at the time of ACL injury.
