Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Seminar
Speaker: Mira Schoeberlein, University of Oregon
Title: Biological Sex, Sex Hormones, and Limitations to Performance
Abstract:
Though primarily tied to reproductive function, female sex hormones (estradiol and progesterone) elicit potent physiological effects across multiple physiological systems. Fluctuations in estradiol and progesterone across the menstrual cycle create distinct hormone profiles, which may have implications for exercise performance outcomes. This presentation will dive into data exploring the impact of four distinct sex hormone profiles (validated via serum blood sampling) on the highest sustainable work rate (maximal metabolic steady state) in women over ~4-weeks compared to the same time points in men. The implications for endurance performance will be discussed.

About the Seminar Series
The seminar series features speakers from across the institutions that make up the Alliance, covering topics related to our mission of uncovering the principles of performance and translating them to improved performance and care of athletes and all people.
The goal of the seminar series is to foster scientific exchange and the formation of new research collaborations through a set of research talks that are clear and compelling to researchers from a broad range of fields.
