Health Issues Throughout
the Lifespan

Medical practitioners and health care providers/educators must continue to be vigilant of the growing and ever-changing health issues relating to females who lead an active lifestyle by participating in sports and exercise. There have been recent landmark legislations changing the social perception that girls and women not only can but should be physically active. With any change in the social milieu, there are always evolving health issues associated with the journey. Continuing medical education for physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, wellness educators, and certified professionals in sports medicine is vital to the economic and public health care system.
