Overview
The recognition and management of specific issues relating to the physically active female, including active leisure to high performance sport.
This paper will provide a framework for healthcare professionals and will address coaching and general mentorship roles. It will stimulate thought on a number of issues to complement other papers available from the schedule of postgraduate options. This paper could well be named "the active woman" because it will not necessarily focus solely on the female athlete. Rather it will address a number of contemporary issues that relate to all women who have an interest in the active lifestyle.
