Exercise Physiology in Women

Exercise physiology in women focuses on how female bodies respond to physical activity and how this can differ from men due to hormonal, anatomical, and physiological factors. Women can experience unique benefits and challenges, such as menstrual cycle impacts on performance, increased injury risk, and differences in muscle recovery. Understanding these factors helps in designing effective exercise programs that optimize health and fitness while addressing women's specific needs, including during pregnancy and menopause. Overall, knowledge in this field promotes safer and more effective exercise practices for women at all stages of life.
