Studies from University of Bern in the Area of Mental Health Diseases and Conditions Published ("There just isn't any other option-so we just have to put up with it": mental health in women's cycling and the necessity of structural change).

A recent study from the University of Bern explores the mental health challenges faced by women in professional cycling. The research highlights the structural and cultural obstacles that female cyclists encounter, including unstable employment terms, limited team support, and role conflicts. Additionally, issues such as sexual harassment, body shaming, and investment gaps between men's and women's teams contribute to psychosocial risk factors. The study emphasizes the importance of sports psychiatry in protecting and promoting athlete welfare, and recommends strategies to improve mental health and advance equality within the sport.
