#41 Nicole Strock: Female Specific Research

Nicole is a PhD graduate working at the Women’s Health and Exercise Lab at PSU (Pennsylvania State University) and is the Coordinator for the non-profit organisation The Female and Male Athlete Triad.

We first reached out to Nicole's team last year after finding a paper her group had written about menstrual disturbances in athletes. We formed a partnership with their group and collaborated on a project called 'Meet The Fighters' where athletes shared personal experiences about health-related and performance-related issues as combat fighters.

Nicole talks about her research regarding the Female Athlete Triad which is the evidence-based cornerstone of the more recently introduced model of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S).
