The Female Runner: From the Start to Finish
The population of female runners has grown exponentially since the enactment of Title IX in 1972. Women begin participating in running at a younger age than ever, continue to run through their childbearing years, and continue running into older age. The demands on a woman’s body is inherently different from that of her male counterparts.
Rehabilitation providers need to understand the changing metabolic needs, physiological changes, and varying running patterns that encompass the female runner’s career. It is essential that medical providers be able to provide comprehensive care to the female runner throughout her lifespan. This course is appropriate for PTs, PTAs, and ATCs to help them provide better care for the female runner at any stage in her life.
This course has been approved by the Maryland State Board of Physical Therapy Examiners for .9 CEUs/9 hours. It is currently pending approval in the state of Pennsylvania.
