Abstract
It is widely documented in most sports that historically, women have not had the same opportunities as men in relation to participation, coaching and leadership positions. However, there is less documentation on how gender is prioritised by researchers in research relating to exercise science, physiology and research participation. This paper will focus on the presence of women as research participants in exercise science and physiology based research in several high profile and highly ranked exercise and physiology journals worldwide. Specifically, this presentation investigates the gender and age of research participants in relation to the research focus, gender of the first author and the country of origin of the research. How current exercise science and physiology research engages the use of female participants is contextualised with the experiences of women in other facets of the sporting world.
