Earlier this year Davenport et al. released the 2025 Canadian guidelines for physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep throughout the first year postpartum. There are 9 recommendations. You can also look at www.csep.ca for additional references including:
1. The Postpartum Get Active questionnaire https://lnkd.in/gEgfZXFe
2. The 24-Hour Movement Guidelines https://lnkd.in/gRMXnN5G
Well done Davenport et al.

Women's Health Review #12.
It is so nice to see some work by the International Olympic Committee to recommend injury prevention for female, woman and/or girl athletes. This appears to be long, but I added in the consensus statements at the end. I think you will need to access the article to see them clearly. http://bjsm.bjm.com/

Women's Health Review #11. Many clinicians see pregnant women for a variety of reasons, with headache being very common!

Check out the synopsis here. Thank you Dr Vanessa Morales for bringing my attention to this article.

Too busy watching the Jays - Women's Research Review #8 is late! # 9 will be out later this week :-)

Women's participation in sport has increased over the last number of decades. However, performance-based research in women is lacking and data on whether or not exercise performance is affected by menstrual cycle phase is conflicting.

This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the effects of menstrual cycle phase on exercise performance on eumenorrheic women.

Read on and see what these authors say.

#6 Women's Health Review - October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and I thought I would find an article on this subject. This is a case report but is a great review and reminder for all manual therapists to think outside the box when someone with a history of cancer presents with a new onset of back pain or a change in pain. Thank you to Dr Chu and Trager.

Review #4 - Women's Health
Just when we thought we knew lots about the symptoms of menopause and when they started, take a look at what Coslov et al. found out about when the symptoms may actually start! For those of us who see women in their 30s, 40s and 50+ this is a great article for you. And for more information, check out their website: https://womenlivingbetter.org/
