Coaching the female biathlete

Abstract

Should you be using different coaching strategies and training programs with your female and male biathletes? Yes, we think so, at least in some ways. Of course, basic training principles apply to both sexes/ genders and coaches need to adjust for individual requirements. However, due to differences in competition demands, physiology, psychology, interpersonal and social factors, female-specific characteristics need to be considered when coaching girls and women.
