In this weeks episode Co-hosts Emma and Gráinne are joined by Associate Professor (Reader) in Human Movement and Sports Medicine, Dr Izzy Moore, from Cardiff Metropolitan University.

We discuss the female research gap, how we all met and how we have collaborated to answer the call for female specific research. We discuss the study led by Izzy, that Gráinne and Emma were involved alongside a team including Megan James, Dr Alex Jones and Joanna Perkins. The study investigates factors influencing whether females return to running after pregnancy and it has been published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2021/06/22/bjsports-2021-104168.

A blog highlighting the key findings of the research can be found on Izzy's blog here: https://sites.google.com/view/drizzymoore/blogs/23rd-june-2021-return-to-running-following-childbirth?authuser=0

This episode is fun and light-hearted and we cannot wait to hear what you think about it.
