Explore what the latest research really tells us about women, movement and health – and, most importantly, understand what it means for you.
From your first period to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause and beyond, women’s bodies change. So why should our approach to movement and exercise stay the same?
Join Bond University’s Research Collaborative for Women and Children’s Health and Sport (RCWCHS) and the HER Sport & Health Collective Gold Coast for a fun, informative and practical morning designed to help women make sense of the research.
Women have historically been underrepresented in health and sport research, meaning much of what we know about exercise, performance and health has not always reflected the female experience.
That is changing.
This two-hour session brings researchers and women's health practitioners together to explore what the latest evidence is telling us about movement, strength and wellbeing across the female lifespan.
Enjoy a free breakfast and coffee, connection with other women and an opportunity to learn practical tips direct from researches!
From research to real life
We’ll unpack questions women actually want answered:
- Why does movement matter for women?
- Does exercise need to change as our bodies change?
- How can we stay active through pregnancy and postpartum?
- What happens to our health, strength and exercise needs through perimenopause and menopause?
- When should we seek help – and who should we see?
- And how can we make movement more achievable, enjoyable and sustainable?
Expect engaging conversations, practical tips, honest insights and plenty of opportunities to challenge some of the things you may have heard about women, hormones, exercise and ageing.
Leave with more than just information
You'll discover practical ways to support your health and stay active through different stages of life, learn when and where to seek professional support, and hear directly from the researchers working to close the gaps in women's health and sport research.
