VERY excited to share this paper!🩸🚴🏼‍♀️

We used a remote protocol with athletes competing in e-cycling races across their MC.

There was no relationship between oestrogen/progesterone and race time, BUT negative symptoms linked with poorer performance.

🔻We are looking for athletes that play AFLW, VFLW, SANFLW, QAFLW or WAFLW to help us understand how they feel about the menstrual cycle and contraception & performance. Please forward to anyone you think would want to share their experiences🔻

It’s been a big two years, but today we finished testing at the Canberra site for the FeAR study (Fe absorption in runners)!

33 participants tracked here over 2 years 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ More to come as the Melbourne site wraps up next month!

[Alannah McKay @MckayAlannah]

And a big thanks to @McCormick_Rach - I wouldn’t have survived the early mornings without you!!

[Alannah McKay @MckayAlannah]

And that’s the FeAR study wrapped up!

☑️2.5 years
☑️2 cities
☑️60 participants
☑️280 Hbmass tests
☑️>160,000 km tracked
☑️☑️☑️ 1 exhausted PI

But a great feeling having this one wrapped up before heading off the #ACSM24 this week!
