About the Women in Sport and Exercise Academic Network
Opportunities for women in sport and exercise are expanding rapidly, whether it is leading a governing body, excelling in elite competition or simply participating for fitness, camaraderie and the love of sport. However, there is still much work to do to achieve a level playing field.
​
The Women in Sport and Exercise Academic Network (WiSEAN) aims to bring together leading academics and practitioners from a range of disciplines to grow, strengthen and promote research on women in sport and exercise, with the ultimate goal of optimising women’s athletic success and their participation.
The aims of the WiSEAN are:
To provide a communication network of individuals who are involved in commissioning, designing, executing, reporting and utilising research into women in sport and exercise
To offer a mentoring support network for professional
development
To promote awareness of
women’s sport and exercise-related
issues in the media
