Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Inclusion in Sport: Discussion
Ms Mia Galligan:
We spoke to them when we were doing our testing. A lot of them did not understand the impact the period can have on a girl while participating in PE. Some girls experience more severe cramps than others and some cannot partake in PE on that day. It is just that certain exercises could perhaps be changed for certain girls. We found out that some of the tests were better on days 11 to 15 and some were worse on days one to five. It is now better understood. They understand the impact it has and that it has a big impact on PE.
