Invisibility of female participants in midlife and beyond in sport and exercise science research: a call to action
As the number of females participating in sport and exercise has increased and moved towards parity with males, understanding the specific needs of sportswomen has become increasingly essential. Sadly, the imbalance between the representation of females and males in sport and exercise science research is well-known. For example, in 2021, we published ‘Invisible Sportswomen’: The Sex Data Gap in Sport and Exercise Science Research, which conducted an exploration of the ratio of males and females as participants in sport and exercise science research.
