Happy #InternationalWomensDay2024 !!
Here at SPRINT, we have some incredible female researchers who are living and breathing this year's IWD theme of "Count Her In. Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress". We asked them what they love about what they do... 🧵

“For every female that says, ‘I don’t perform so well when I have my period’, there will be one who says, ‘That’s when I perform best or that’s when I won my gold medal’.”
Groundbreaking stuff from @Gabbi_Munteanu & @pearson_madi

Coffee drinking should stop 8.8 hours before bed time, and pre-workout a whopping 13.2 hours before bed time!

Just how close to bedtime is too close for your caffeine? ☕️ 🛌
Massive thanks to all involved in the first paper of my PhD
@ShonaHalson @JonathonWeakle1 @LouiseMBurke @CBTmin @ThePhaseShifter @niravmaniar91
☕️&💤: How close to bedtime should we stop consuming caffeine? Look out for pre-workouts on subsequent sleep💥

Baylee’s story is an example of a wonderful athlete - and the outcomes of great collaborations between scientists, coaches and athletes supported by clever organisations @theAIS @NRL @MacKillopACU @WuTsaiAlliance
Baylee Davies was preparing for a Brisbane homecoming of a different kind when Mal Meninga walked into the Indigenous Women’s Academy in Canberra on Sunday to help deliver some news.

It’s excellent to see more work being attempted in this area.
Some amazing research investigating periodised resistance training across the menstrual cycle, led by PhD student @Gabbi_Munteanu from within the @SPRINT_ACU, will soon be getting underway 🏋️♀️
Replying to @SportsmithHQ
What are the effects of periodising resistance training according to menstrual cycle phase? Is it a feasible method of altering training volumes & loads?
Although only a pilot study, this is big step forward. @JonathonWeakle1 reviews this paper
