Sam Miller Science S 330: The Science of Reproductive Hormone Physiology in Sport: NCAA Regulations, Lia Thomas, and Trans-Athlete Performance Considerations
Recent controversy in sport, specifically with NCAA swimming and Lea Thomas, brought to mind a topic I wanted to cover and have extensive work with trans-athletes in the past. No matter your political stance on the issue, I wanted to dive into the physiology of the requirements for trans-athletes to compete, adolescence physiology and gender differences earlier in life, and why this is an important lesson for clients. Topics include:
- Heavy Controversy Recently
- More Science than Politics
- History of Women and Sport
- Starting with Puberty and Adolescence
- Grip Strength Considerations
- Requirements for Trans Athletes
- Important Lesson for Clients
