A great week at Australian Institute of Sport for data collection in Canberra. Impressive facilities, lots of blood analysis and some invaluable time working with the iron guru herself Alannah McKay🩸

Explore the latest study by Wu Tsai Alliance members Alannah McKay, Louise Burke, Kathryn Ackerman on a cutting-edge model for conducting research in high-performance female athletes.

We're excited to announce 2024's first PD event collaboration with the Australian Institute of Sport FPHI. Join Dr Alannah McKay for an online discussion on iron for female athletes including potential influence of female sex hormones on iron regulation & absorption. 👉More at: zurl.co/G7a1

It's #WomensHistoryMonth and we are happy to highlight our author Alannah McKay whose #research explores the impact of diet and exercise with a specific interest in iron metabolism. Read her article at bit.ly/3uWgDFs #WomenInMedicine #SportsMedicine

An incredible few days at #WISC24 and what better day to highlight the incredible women I get to work with daily #IWD2024

Alannah McKay from MacKillopInstitute & team conducted a 5-week training camp study for female Rugby League athletes. The approach provided a unique opportunity to monitor each participant across their menstrual cycle in a way that was both rigorous and reflective of the real world.

It’s been a big two years, but today we finished testing at the Canberra site for the FeAR study (Fe absorption in runners)! 33 participants tracked here over 2 years 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ More to come as the Melbourne site wraps up next month!

So happy to see the first paper from my PhD published! Just one of the many data sets from the inaugural Female Athlete Research Camp. This one really was a huge team effort 💪 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej…

New paper alert 🚨 I really enjoyed working on this audit with ⁦Tess Flood⁩ ⁦Emma Clausen⁩ ⁦_⁩ ⁦Alannah McKay⁩ ⁦Megan Kuikman⁩ & ⁦Louise Burke⁩ ⁦Ella Smith⁩ We hope you find it useful! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

If you're low on iron, you might take a supplement. But did you know when and how you take it can affect whether your body absorbs the iron? Alannah McKay explains: theconversation.com/im-iron-defici…

🔻We are looking for athletes that play AFLW, VFLW, SANFLW, QAFLW or WAFLW to help us understand how they feel about the menstrual cycle and contraception & performance. Please forward to anyone you think would want to share their experiences🔻 👉 lnkd.in/gA4XaQMz

If I’ve been a little slow on the emails this week, this is why 😊💍❤️

VERY excited to share this paper!🩸🚴🏼‍♀️ We used a remote protocol with athletes competing in e-cycling races across their MC. There was no relationship between oestrogen/progesterone and race time, BUT negative symptoms linked with poorer performance. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39501484/
