Abstract
Recent efforts to increase women’s engagement in sport and exercise has had a positive impact, and participation levels in this population are on the increase. Additionally, within elite sport, there are more women on national teams at multisport major events such as the Olympic Games. Despite these increasing trends, females are significantly under represented in research in the sport domain. Indeed, most research that informs training programmes, exercise regimes, dietary guidelines, psychological interventions, and injury prevention and rehabilitation programmes mainly involve male participants. In addition, as sport is still largely male-dominated; sex discrimination, gender inequality, gender bias, and gender stereotyping in this domain continues. With contributions from leading scientists from around the world, The Exercising Female aims to provide scientific underpinning to inform applied practice for the exercising female. Specifically, the book has two themes: (1) the scientific issues that exercising females may encounter; and (2) how to make the most of being a woman to achieve athletic success.
