PhD Fellow, Department of Public Health, Aarhus University
I am currently working as a PhD student at Aarhus University, Denmark, investigating the impact of endogenous and exogenous female sex hormones on skeletal muscle physiology, mainly focusing on low energy availability and oral contraceptives.
In my work, I hope to inspire further research in the field, bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and practical application to enhance understanding of female physiology and its role in exercise performance. The overall goal is to optimize training strategies and promote well-being for female athletes.
