🏋️‍♀️ Extended version of this interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/how-and-why-and-145262357 🏋️‍♀️Differences in sports performance are present between females and males. Why do these develop, how, and when exactly? Dr Shanie Landen explains what is known so far and what is currently being researched. The topics we cover include genetics, epigenetics, hormones, and muscle fibres and their influence on athletic performance.Shanie has a PhD from Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia, where she investigated sex-specific epigenetic adaptations to endurance exercise training. She has authored 22 publications in the field of gene regulation. Shanie is interested in gene regulation mechanisms and the mechanisms by which exercise improves health and disease. She is researching how sex-biasing forces influence gene regulation and function.Enjoy!Some of the research papers mentioned in this interview:Landen S, Jacques M, Hiam D, Alvarez-Romero J, Schittenhelm RB, Shah AD, Huang C, Steele JR, Harvey NR, Haupt LM, Griffiths LR.
