There is ongoing debate about who should be allowed to compete in female (girls’ & women’s) sports. This presentation will summarize the differences in sports performance between males and females, and the biological factors driving these differences. Current research findings on the effects of testosterone suppression and puberty blockers on sports performance will also be reviewed. Led by Dr. Greg Brown, a professor of Exercise Science at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. He teaches courses in Exercise Physiology, Professional Development in Exercise Science, and Exercise Prescription for Special Populations. Brown has previously taught Anatomy & Physiology, Sports Nutrition, Research Methods, Sports Nutrition, and more. His research focuses on the effects of nutritional supplements, physiological responses to exercise, and sex-based differences in sports performance. Brown has over 50 peer-reviewed publications and serves as a peer reviewer for numerous academic journals. He is an active member of several professional organizations, including the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the American College of Sports Medicine, in which he is a fellow.
