SFISM Colloquium on Women in Elite Sport

Female athletes have different physical and psychological prerequisites than male athletes when it comes to athletic performance. Despite this, only six per cent of all scientific studies on sport are specific to women. The colloquium, which was organised by the Swiss Federal Institute of Sport Magglingen (SFISM) together with Swiss Olympic, informed participants about existing services for Swiss female athletes, presented practical teaching examples on the topic from the SFISM and highlighted research projects in Norway focusing specifically on women in sport.
