For decades, the problem regarding women’s health dialogues in sports was the lack thereof.
The limits of FIFA’s Women’s Health revolutionIn 2023, FIFA launched the Women’s Health, Wellbeing and Performance Project.
When research treats women’s health primarily as a necessity to sustain high output, the athlete’s physical comfort and humanity become afterthoughts.
