Teams of scientists are researching the unique ways that elite sport affects the female body – how breasts alter the way you run, but the right sports bra could give you the edge; how the menstrual cycle could impact performance and what role period trackers could play; and why is there a higher risk of some injuries, and what can be done to avoid them?
I can’t imagine having to play your best at the highest level of your sport while on your period. That sucks.
Apparently you’re quite strong during your period and most women have their weakest time the week before it starts.
