Industry Presented Webinar - ​​Supporting Female Athletes: An Evidence-Based Toolkit to Optimize their Health & Performance​

About this course

ACSM and GSSI present “Supporting Female Athletes: An Evidence-Based Toolkit to Optimize their Health & Performance” As participation in female sports continues to rise, the health of female athletes has taken center stage. At the same time, research into the nutrition and hydration needs of female athletes is rising. Staying up to date with the latest, evidence-based information enables scientists and practitioners to not only understand the science but also apply it in practical ways, empowering athletes to enhance both their performance and overall well-being.
