World Athletics president Sebastian Coe has hailed as “worthwhile” comments by female athletes questioning apparent lack of research into effect of menstrual cycle on performance.
Coe told AFP in an interview in Zurich, host of Diamond League finals, that he was currently “examining the landscape” to see what research into periods was actually available.
“I have asked our health and science teams to give me background to whether or not there is research out there,” Coe said.
“And if there is, is it being disseminated properly? Are we really understanding as much as we possibly can?
