Did you know that 94% of all research into human sports performance is focused on male athletes. Very little female-specific data exists to inform training and optimise sports performance in women and girls. Not only are female athletes, with their menstrual cycles and fluctuating hormone levels, underrepresented in research, their training and nutrition guidelines are based on male data.  We are the Optimise Foundation, an innovative organisation dedicated to supporting girls and women at all life stages to achieve their sporting potential by working with, not against, their physiology. We are a voluntary collective of local athletes, communicators, doctors, physiotherapists, nutritionists, personal trainers and sports research academics. We take latest scientific research and commercial offering at an elite level and communicate it locally so that girls and women of all ages can optimise their training around their unique physiology, hormones and life stages
