The Boat Club will be hosting Isy Hawes on Tuesday the 13th of May talking from 1730-1900 to cover the very underreported topic of RED-S. Room 1.20 in Malet Place Engineering Building
RED-S stands for relative energy deficiency in sports and covers a breadth of topics, including eating, endocrine, and menstrual disorders.
The speaker is Isy Hawes, a current Leander rower who has experienced RED-S, taken some time away from the sport and documented her recovery process on social media. She has also represented GB as an U23!
The format of the talk will be a presentation on what RED-S is, Isy’s experience with it, and a short Q&A of sorts to end the talk. A more detailed content warning will be included at the talk, but it is an amazing opportunity to learn more and discuss the topic of RED-S targeted specifically for rowing athletes!
