The Exercising Female: Science and Its Application is the first
book to provide students, researchers, and professionals with an
evidence-based reference on the exceptional scientific issues
associated with female participation in sport and exercise. Based
on the latest research, and treating women as a unique population,
the book seeks to critically evaluate current debates, present the
science underpinning female sport and exercise performance, and
inform applied practice for the exercising female. Featuring
contributions from leading scientists from around the world, and
adopting a multidisciplinary approach-from exercise physiology,
endocrinology, and biochemistry to psychology, biomechanics, and
sociology-the book includes chapters on topics such as: Exercise
and the menstrual cycle, contraception, pregnancy, motherhood, and
menopause. Body image, exercise dependency, the psychology of
sports performance, and homophobia in female sport. The Female
Athlete Triad, bone health, musculoskeletal injury, and breast
biomechanics. Nutritional requirements for the exercising female,
immune function and exercise, and cardiovascular health. Filling a
considerable gap in book literature around the science of female
sport and exercise, this is crucial reading for any student
studying female sport and exercise science, researchers of female
sport, and any coach, sport scientist, strength and conditioning
coach, sport psychologist, physician, or physiotherapist working
with female athletes.
