Discussing the Menstrual cycle openly with clients and highlighting the impact that it can have on your performance is something that we have wanted to do on the For Fit Sake Podcast for quite some time.
On this week's episode Rory and Aoife are joined by Down Camogie star and Orreco employee Niamh Mallon. Niamh joined the guys to discuss both the positive and... (yes you read that correctly - positive) and negative affects that a period can have on a female athletes performance. Niamh breaks the menstrual cycle into 4 stages and highlights the physiological areas that elicit certain perfromance traits during each phase. The research is very interesting.
Niamh discusses the FitrWoman app. FitrWoman helps you track your menstrual cycle and provides personalized training and nutritional suggestions tailored to the changing hormone levels throughout your cycle.
"No matter what your sport and no matter what your goal, FitrWoman takes the guesswork out of training."
The software and it's coaching version of the platform raised some questions surrounding ethical implications of seeking superior sports perfromance in female squads.
Niamh and Aoife field questions that came in from the masses through our social media channels and there is a little segway into heart rate variability, an area that is gaining increasing interest, near the end of the episode. Enjoy!
