Illuminate Speaker Series - Flipping the script: A gendered environmental approach to reducing sports injury risk

Dr. Joanne Parsons' research program explores the use of resistance training to maximize health and performance as well as decrease sports injury risk across diverse populations. A critical piece of this work is considering and exploring how the pervasive gendered environments that surround girls and women may increase their risk of injury and affect participation and performance. Parsons’ clinical training and years spent working on sport sidelines heavily informs a focus on applied practice to ensure her work resonates with knowledge users in order to make real world impact.
