Hormones don't stand still - so why do we often measure them as though they do?

Reproductive hormones change continuously throughout the menstrual cycle, yet testing frequently relies on measurements taken at a single point in time.

At BASEM Conference 2026, Dr Thom Phillips will explore this challenge in The Hormonal Waveform: Mapping the Menstrual Cycle.

Drawing on real-world data from a BASEM-supported observational study, Thom will examine what it takes to capture a more complete picture of menstrual hormone fluctuations.

💬 Could understanding the full hormonal waveform change how we approach measurement and interpretation in women's health?

The talk forms part of the BASEM Research Bursary Awards session, chaired by Professor Stefan Kluzek.

Are we assessing hip and groin pain in female athletes using evidence that truly reflects their needs?

Hip and groin pain can be challenging to assess and manage, yet much of the research informing clinical practice has historically focused on male athletes.

At BASEM Conference 2026, the talk The Female Athlete Hip: What Do We Know About Biomechanics and Function in Hip and Groin Pain? will explore findings from a systematic review of the literature.

Identifying just 26 relevant studies, the review examines strength, range of movement, biomechanics and functional outcomes, while highlighting important gaps in our understanding.

💬 What do we know about female athlete hip health - and where does the research need to go next?

🌡️ As temperatures rise, how well do we understand exertional heat illness at mass-participation sporting events?

Exertional heat illness can affect otherwise healthy athletes, sometimes requiring urgent medical intervention or hospitalisation.

At BASEM Conference 2026, Dr Dan Fitzpatrick will present Early Insights from a UK Exertional Heat Illness Registry.

The registry is collecting prospective data from mass-participation sporting events across the UK, helping researchers build a clearer picture of an increasingly important issue.

Dan will share an update on data collection, emerging insights and the challenges involved in conducting research in these demanding environments.

His talk forms part of the BASEM Research Bursary Awards session, chaired by Professor Stefan Kluzek.

👩‍⚕️ Why might talented doctors decide against a career in Sport and Exercise Medicine before they even apply?

Understanding who enters SEM specialty training — and who doesn't — is an important question for the future of the specialty.

At BASEM Conference 2026, Dr Katherine Angwin will present findings from the DETERMINE Study in her talk investigating factors influencing applications to SEM training.

Using a mixed-methods approach, the research examines why women may be underrepresented among applicants and whether barriers emerge before the formal application process.

💬 What can these findings teach us about improving access, awareness and opportunities within SEM?

The talk forms part of the BASEM Research Bursary Awards session, chaired by Professor Stefan Kluzek.

🔬 What happens when promising research ideas receive the support they need to move forward?

At BASEM Conference 2026, the BASEM Research Bursary Awards session will showcase emerging research supported through BASEM funding.

Chaired by Professor Stefan Kluzek, the session brings together researchers exploring important questions across sport and exercise medicine:

🔹 Dr Katherine Angwin – barriers to entering SEM specialty training.

🔹 Dr Dan Fitzpatrick – early insights from a UK exertional heat illness registry.

🔹 Dr Paulina Kloskowska - The Female Athlete Hip – a systematic review of biomechanics and hip/groin pain.

🔹 Dr Thom Phillips – mapping hormonal changes across the menstrual cycle.

🔹 Dr Faisal Shaikh – improving the reliability of hip flexion measurements.

🙌 Discover developing evidence, hear from bursary recipients and explore what their work could mean for future research and clinical practice.

When an athlete needs ACL reconstruction, are we asking the surgeon the right questions?

From graft choice and surgical technique to rehabilitation and return to performance, decisions surrounding ACL reconstruction can have consequences well beyond the operating theatre.

At BASEM Conference 2026, join Mr Andy Williams, Consultant Sports Knee Specialist and Founder of Fortius Clinic, for ACL Reconstruction in Athletes in 2026 – What to Challenge Your Surgeon With!

Drawing on clinical outcomes in professional athletes, this session will examine what the evidence tells us about return-to-play rates, graft re-rupture, career longevity and postoperative performance.

💬 Which approaches stand up to scrutiny - and how can clinicians use the evidence to challenge assumptions and individualise care?
