Women in Sport: A Research Update: Episode 66 with Dr Emma Cowley

New Podcast Alert ‼️ We are heading into Women in Sport week AND Women in Research week so this feels like the perfect time to share my conversation my Dr Emma Cowley - another of the great researchers from TUSIf you’ve ever said (or heard me say 😉) that only 6% of research in sports science is done on females - you have Emma to thank for that! ‘Invisible Sportswomen’ 2021)In this chat, we explore how Emma’s research has given us great insights into not only the lack of female specific research but also the psychosocial barriers and benefits to exercise for women at every age & stage, from adolescent girls (the Herizon 2021 paper) to challenges around body image for menopausal women in the gym (2025) I’ll put screenshots of Emma’s research in my instagram (@michellelyons_muliebrity) and you can find Emma on x as @emmacowley44 and on ResearchGateMy big takeaway from this conversation was the importance of creating a femalecentric approach to goal setting, creating a safe environment that has peer support and of course, getting more women into physical activity AND into research!If you’re a women’s health pro and you’d like to learn more about the benefits, the why as well as the how of physical fitness and strength at every age and stage, you’ll find all the info in my online course, Female Hormonal Health Masterclass - it covers menstrual, maternal & menopausal health from a biopsychosocial whole person approach, with evidence based strategies for pelvic & msk health, mental, metabolic, cardiovascular and so much more, then head to the link in my bio or visit my website, CelebrateMuliebrity.comUntil next time!
