Research on female athletes is scarce, with only 6% of studies focusing exclusively on them. To make matters worse, just 8% of that research is high quality, leaving very little evidence-based material to guide training and performance strategies. #SportsScience #FemaleAthletes

Machine learning models can do more than just analyze past performance. Train them on player data, and they can predict the impact of training changes, simulating outcomes like a 2% quad strength increase yielding a specific speed boost.

Quantifying an athlete's journey can lead to longer, healthier careers. Instead of banning high-risk sports, we innovate—like in Formula 1. The goal is to optimize athlete health and performance, not to stop the sport. #AthleteHealth #SportsScience #Performance
