The aim of the Emilie Mass Dalhaug’s PhD project was to investigate the effects of high‑intensity exercise and heavy‑load resistance training on maternal and fetal health in pregnant elite and recreational athletes, an area where current recommendations have traditionally been conservative and have discouraged such training. The findings from the project suggest that high‑intensity exercise, heavy‑load resistance training, and a high training volume were generally well tolerated by both the pregnant athletes and their foetuses.

This special issue will build on this research by centralizing novel, innovative, and rigorous qualitative research methods/methodologies to expand understanding of less explored topics, in the motherhood and high performance sport research nexus. For this collection, high performance sport will encompass national or international level competitors, medal winners, Olympians, and professional or semi-professional contexts, where athletes strive for peak performance and achievement.
