In today's episode of The Female Fitness Podcast I have the pleasure of being joined by Dr Ash Cox who is the clinical lead at Red On, an Epidemiologist, Researcher, and Performance Analyst.
Myself and Bec were introduced to Ash through the Red On event that we went to in Liverpool, and subsequent fitness testing that we had done over there (lactate threshold, back squat 1RM, vertical jump, and hand grip test).
Today we chat about the fitness testing above and what the results mean/how they can be used in practice.
We also discuss RED-S/the female athlete triad and the consequences of insufficient energy availability, whether there should be differences when it comes to programming between the sexes, whether we should program in line with the menstrual cycle, and so much more
Whether you're a coach or someone interested in learning more about training for your own personal development this podcast is for you!
Thank you so much for listening as always.
I’d LOVE to hear from you whether this is your first listen or you’ve been here for years, so please drop me a message on instagram if you have any questions, requests, or feedback. I’d absolutely love to hear from you!
