PULSE

Every powerful sprint, precise pass, remarkable recovery, and decisive moment on the pitch begins with biology.

HER BIOLOGY explores the extraordinary physiology of the female football player: how muscles develop, how tendons and connective tissues adapt, how energy is produced and distributed, and how hormones, nutrition, and the body’s microbial ecosystem contribute to her individual biological story.

Female football is entering an extraordinary era of opportunity. As the game continues to evolve, a deeper understanding of female physiology opens new possibilities for training, nutrition, recovery, long-term development, and performance.

Every player brings her own biological signature. Understanding that individuality creates opportunities to support her development throughout her sporting life.

Drawing on contemporary scientific research, HER BIOLOGY connects physiology, metabolism, co-metabolism, and applied sports science with the everyday reality of football. From muscle and collagen biology to bone development, energy availability, hormonal communication, and the gut-organ axes, the book translates scientific understanding into meaningful insights for the pitch, the training ground, and the years beyond.

For every woman who loves the game. For players exploring their potential, coaches guiding their development, and medical and performance professionals who want to understand the biology behind every individual. And for everyone who believes that the future of women’s football deserves scientific curiosity, dedication, and imagination.

Her biology. Her potential. Her future.
