In May 2019, Sports Medicine Australia (SMA) hosted the symposium in Canberra, the national capital. Despite the increase in professional sporting competitions for female athletes including Rugby league, Rugby union and soccer, there has not been a similar boost in research for elite female athletes.<\/p>\n<p>Experts from a wide range of fields including Sport &amp; Exercise Medicine, Strength and Conditioning, Physiotherapy, Dietician, Administration, Media, Coaching and Sports Professionals attended the event.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a summary of what the experts said:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Associate Clinical Professor Margo Mountjoy <a class=\"ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/margomountjoy\"><span class=\"username u-dir\" dir=\"ltr\">@<b class=\"u-linkComplex-target\">margomountjoy<\/b><\/span><\/a>:<\/strong><\/em>\n<ul>\n<li>Prof Mountjoy spoke on Prevention of Harassment and Abuse in Sport and gave an update of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). She asked:\n<ul>\n<li>If we know what sport protection policies exist?\u00a0How we manage athlete disclosures? If there is protection from predators in the sport we work in? Who is most vulnerable? We know that females are more likely to be victims than males.<\/li>\n<li>When speaking about RED-S, she recommended that we &#8220;measure an athlete&#8217;s RED-S after a break\u201d, because even after a 3-month break RED-S can still be present.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Professor Louise Burke <a class=\"ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LouiseMBurke\"><span class=\"username u-dir\" dir=\"ltr\">@<b class=\"u-linkComplex-target\">LouiseMBurke <\/b><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/em>discussed the need for more studies on female athletes:\n<ul>\n<li>Prof Burke mentioned the importance of knowing the intricacies of our female athletes.
