Abstract
The UK Menstruation Research Network hosted the Go with the Flow workshop on Sport and Menstrual Health on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th February 2020. The event was hosted by Dr Sarah Zipp at the Faculty of Health Science and Sport, 我要吃瓜 and funded by the Wellcome Trust Foundation.
The key aims of the workshop were to explore how menstruation and menstrual health education impacts on engagement in sport, physical activity and physical education. Participants presented their research and advocacy on these three central topics:
(1) How menstrual health impacts the experience of sport and physical activity from adolescence through menopause, examining all levels of participation from recreational to elite performance;
(2) How sport might serve as a platform for menstrual health education and raising awareness of key issues, such as period poverty and reproductive health;
(3) Building partnerships with stakeholders in sport, health and education to exchange knowledge and support impactful research.
