physical toll of high level sport on women

[Hattifattner]

saw this today - the toll of being a woman pro athlete:

38 per cent of female athletes in a variety of sports in last year’s Commonwealth Games suffered stress incontinence during training, while 28 per cent suffered from the same condition during competition.

More than 50 per cent reported painful period symptoms and premenstrual tension, significantly higher than the national average.

Upwards of 30 per cent have infrequent or absent periods, which could lead to fertility issues.

Haven't seen it on Twitter yet - maybe someone twitterish could link Martina et al

I knew about fertility issues.

It includes this statement: The EIS recently conducted a study of sports performance research in which it discovered that only three per cent of 4,000 participants were female.
which is another example of how everything defaults to men.
