“Connecting the dots between psychology and physiology in female elite sports”
In this episode Yolanda speaks to Dr Katie Schofield, Sport Scientist and Performance Nutritionist from Cambridge, New Zealand. Katie represented New Zealand as an elite track cyclist and it was during this time that she was diagnosed with RED-S. Katie decided to pursue a PhD in RED-S to investigate the interplay between the psychosocial and physiological aspects of energy availability in sports.
Yolanda and Katie discuss her personal experience in elite sports, the symptoms of low energy availability and RED-S, and touch on some of the differences between males and females when it comes to exercise training, and fueling the body. We hope you enjoy!
