ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different delivery methods—like vaginal delivery or cesarean section—can affect the performance of female athletes. Researchers want to understand whether having a cesarean delivery means it takes longer for athletes to return to their training, if pregnancy impacts their weight, and whether having children often leads to the end of their sports careers. The study will also ask questions about women's overall health, including their menstrual cycles, issues like incontinence, and mental health.

To participate, women must be elite athletes who are part of national teams recognized by the Czech Olympic Committee or related sports federations. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and those who qualify will receive a questionnaire each year for two years after they retire from the national team. This is a great opportunity for female athletes to contribute to important research that could help improve health and performance for future generations.
