Excited to share that one of my PhD papers has been shortlisted for IJSNEM Paper of the Year 2025 🎉
📄 Sodium Hyperhydration Improves Performance With No Change in Thermal and Cardiovascular Strain in Female Cyclists Exercising in the Heat Across the Menstrual Cycle
This research contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting female-focused sport science. Standardising testing across menstrual cycle phases in trained athletes, while controlling for hydration, training load, temperature, and nutrition, is complex but essential if we want to develop strategies that genuinely support women’s performance.
The winner is decided by public vote.
