MAKE IT YOURS. RUN MUNICH.

What does the female body need to stay healthy, perform well and remain active in the long term? Hormones, heart health and training all play an important role – and they change over the course of a lifetime. Dr. Isabel Fegers-Wustrow is a cardiologist and sports cardiologist, working as a senior physician at the Department of Preventive Sports Medicine and Sports Cardiology at the Technical University of Munich. She talks about what women should keep in mind when it comes to sport during different stages of life: from the menstrual cycle to pregnancy and the time afterwards, through to premenopause and menopause. The talk also addresses how women can adapt their training to the changes in their bodies, what role heart health and prevention play, and what they themselves can do to stay healthy and active for as long as possible.

An expert talk for all female runners who want to understand their bodies better, train healthily and enjoy movement and sport in the long term.
