In Episode 72, we are joined by Dr. Emily Kraus, a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford Children's Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center. She is trained in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) sports medicine and is also the director of the FASTR program. FASTR stands for Female Athlete Science and Translational Research, which is dedicated to closing the gender gap in sports science research. The program emphasizes early identification and interventions to prevent injury and optimize performance in female athletes.
During the episode, we discuss Dr. Kraus's journey to becoming a physician who focuses on female athlete health. We also talk about how the lack of female representation in sports medicine motivated her to pursue this career. We explore how increasing female representation in sports medicine can positively impact athletes.
Dr. Kraus shares how working as both a clinician and scientist allows her to better understand female athletes and apply findings in the clinic. We delve into coaching female athletes to return to sport from low energy availability and bone stress injuries and how to balance volume and load while also ensuring the athlete's health and safety.
