Implementation of the Australian Institute of Sport Female Performance and Health Initiative menstrual cycle education modules in elite Victorian Institute of Sport athletes
Introduction: Female athletes and their support staff have limited knowledge of female-specific health considerations (e.g. the menstrual cycle) that might affect their health and performance. Given the importance of education in enhancing knowledge, the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) established the Female Performance and Health Initiative (FPHI) in 2019 to support female athletes. The FPHI provides open access online educational modules to target education for female athletes, their coaches and performance support professionals.
