People are more confused than ever about who to trust when it comes to nutrition. ASPDA and the Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) present “Supporting Female Athletes: An Evidence-Based Toolkit to Optimize their Health & Performance” 

As participation in female sports continues to rise, the health of female athletes has taken center stage. At the same time, research into the nutrition and hydration needs of female athletes is rising. As sports dietitians, you are at the forefront. Staying up to date with the latest, evidence-based information enables you to not only understand the science but also apply it in practical ways, empowering your athletes to enhance both their performance and overall well-being.

GSSI has had a mission of helping athletes optimize their health and performance through research, innovation, education and service in hydration and nutrition science – including with female athletes – for almost 40 years. In this presentation, you will hear directly from GSSI scientists who specialize in female athletes as they:

• Provide the latest hydration and fueling recommendations for female athletes
• Review the latest research on energy availability, bone health and menstrual cycle
• Provide an overview of a toolkit that GSSI have created for practitioners that provides evidence-based recommendations to support the well-being and performance of female athletes
• Share fresh ways to break through misinformation through teachable moments
