Researchers reviewed 669 studies published between 2017 and 2021 in six leading sports-science journals. They wanted to put some numbers to their observations that there were many more studies on male sports compared with female sports.
Michael Grey, a neuroscientist at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK, who specializes in sports injuries, says he isn’t sure that a lack of female surgeons is the problem, but agrees that funding is a big driver. “People focus on men’s sport because that’s where the money is. Not only in the sport itself but in the research,” he says. “And it shouldn’t be that way.”There has been a slight improvement in the past few years, the study shows.
