physiological adjustments as their male counterparts and can cope extremely well with
intense training and with no greater risks to their health than males.

opportunity)

- Provide challenging goals
- Ensure training sessions are planned and include variety
- Provide suitable role models
- Female athletes need more iron and calcium
