The aim of the Certificate in Female Athlete Health is to equip practitioners with the specialist knowledge, evidence base and practical frameworks to better understand and support female athletes across every stage of their sporting journey. Taking a holistic approach across biological, psychological and social dimensions, the programme challenges outdated models built on male athlete data and positions female athlete health as central to performance, participation and long-term wellbeing.
