Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Inclusion in Sport: Discussion

Ms Mya Doocey:

Strength exercises were completed best on days 11 to 15 but endurance exercises were completed best on days 1 to 5. Runners could aim for a PB on days 1 to 5. If more testing was done on this, people would know which areas could be performed best on days 1 to 5. If professional athletes were aiming for a competition, they would know when they would perform best. It is always running through a girl’s mind. If she is on her period, it will always make her worry more and add extra stress to her competitions.
