It includes expanded recommendations and updated guidelines that are in sync with the evolving landscape of women’s sports. Unique to this edition are comprehensive chapters dedicated to helping women remain active and strong during pregnancy and menopause, acknowledging the significant physiological changes that occur during these life stages.

The book’s holistic approach ensures it suits athletes from various disciplines, whether running, cycling, field sports, or triathlons. Regardless of your chosen sport, ROAR equips you with the essential knowledge to achieve and maintain peak physical condition, ensuring you are the healthiest, fittest, and strongest version of yourself.
