World Triathlon is proud to launch a brand-new Continuing Professional Development Coaching Female Triathletes in Pre-, Peri- & Post-Menopause course, designed to give coaches, practitioners, and athletes the knowledge and tools to support performance, health, and longevity during one of the most important physiological transitions in a woman’s life.

The menopausal transition can affect:

  • Recovery capacity
  • Sleep quality
  • Thermoregulation
  • Muscle mass and strength
  • Injury risk
  • Confidence, motivation and mental wellbeing

  • Understand key hormonal and physiological changes
  • Adapt endurance and strength training safely
  • Integrate recovery-focused planning and monitoring
  • Apply menopause-specific nutrition strategies
  • Recognise mental health warning signs and support athlete wellbeing
