Female Athlete Triad: What parents and young women need to know

Show Description

If you are a very active or athletic young woman, with less energy, irregular menstrual cycles or bone injuries, you may want to talk to your doctor about female athlete triad..
Anastasia Fischer, MD, a physician in Sports Medicine at Nationwide Children’s (http://bit.ly/pywyEu), says female athlete triad syndrome is more prevalent than ever suspected before. The female athlete triad has three interrelated components: disordered eating low energy availability (often caused by not eating appropriately), dysmenorrhea (change in a girl’s period), and low bone mineral density..
Girls should talk to their parent or doctor if they are going more than 35 days in between periods, skipping occasional periods, if their periods have stopped, or if they are 15 years old and have not yet experienced a menstrual cycle. By eating meals with their children, parents can assess their attitudes about eating. All athletes should have a nutrition plan that consists of getting enough calories throughout the day..

Mayo Clinic Minute: Female athletes may need more iron

Show Description

Women who exercise may need more iron. In a recent study, Mayo Clinic experts found that women who exercise for long periods of time and/or participate in sports where there is repetitive heel striking are at increased risk of iron deficiency and iron-deficient anemia. That’s important, because, without iron, your body can’t perform at its best..
In this Mayo Clinic Minute, clinical dietitian Erica Goldstein discusses the study findings and offers tips on how to get more iron in your diet..

Some female athletes cutting corners on nutrition

Show Description

There’s been a dramatic increase in the number of girls playing sports in high school, and the women’s participation rate in college sports jumped to more than 40 percent. But, many aren’t getting enough calories and protein. That can mean poor performance, bone fractures and other serious problems. Dr. Alexis Colvin, chief medical officer of the U.S. Tennis Association and orthopedic surgeon, joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss the health risks for women.

Industry-Presented Webinar: The Female Athlete Triad & Sports Nutrition Strategies for Recovery

Show Description

Exercising and physically active women are at risk for developing the Female Athlete Triad from inadequate energy intake relative to increased exercise energy expenditure associated with exercise. Join Dr. Mary Jane de Souza as she describes the risks and side-effects of Female Athlete Triad and discusses how to ensure adequate energy intake to meet the energy demands associated with exercise to maintain the optimal health and performance of this population, with a focus on nutritional strategies for recovery..
Following this webinar, attendees will be able to:
• Identify signs of the Female Athlete Triad..
• List 3-5 performance and health effects associated with low energy availability..
• Describe strategies to alleviate Triad side-effects..
• Develop nutrition treatment and recovery goals for athletes suffering from the Female Athlete Triad..
This webinar is sponsored by the Gatorade Sports Science Institute..

Recent reports suggest that up to 42% of female athletes have insufficient vitamin D levels and up to 90% fall short of the adequate intake for calcium.Recent reports suggest that up to 42% of female athletes have insufficient vitamin D levels and up to 90% fall short of the adequate intake for calcium. These two deficiencies can increase the risk.

Recent reports suggest that up to 42% of female athletes have insufficient vitamin D levels and up to 90% fall short of the adequate intake for calcium. These two deficiencies can increase the risk of bone stress fractures and also place these athletes at risk for osteoporosis later in life.Two decades of research among female athletes over the age of 13 years shows that a lack of nutrition knowledge about what they need to eat to stay healthy and compete may contribute to poor performance, low energy and nutrient intake, and potential health risks, according to a Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School study.Deficiencies in vitamin D, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and B vitamins can occur from exercise-related stress and inadequate dietary intakes.

The high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is not surprising as there are very few good dietary sources of vitamin D, and thus mean intake is low (43).Recent reports suggest that up to 42% of female athletes have insufficient vitamin D levels and up to 90% fall short of the adequate intake for calcium. These two deficiencies can increase the risk of bone stress fractures and also place these athletes at risk for osteoporosis later in life.Swimming, due to its emphasis on lean body weight and tightly fitting clothing, has been associated with several nutritional deficiencies which place these athletes at risk of developing components of the female athlete triad.28–30More specifically, swimming has energy.This observation is i n contrast to earlier data indicating female athletes as a high risk group for mineral deficiency development (McClung et al., 2014).

Moreover, our previous data also.The screening led the researchers to find that 39 per cent of the athletes risk developing a condition called Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports (RED-S) syndrome, commonly known as Female Athlete Triad — a combination of conditions that include low calorie intake, missed periods and weakening of bones.These clients have a higher risk of energy deficiency, a condition that can develop easily and lead to irreversible negative effects. Energy deficiency is also a key factor in two medical syndromes affecting athletes: the Female Athlete Triad and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S).There are a number of factors other than diet that may affect iron status in female athletes (Fig.

1.).First, blood losses from menstruation represent the major route of iron excretion in most premenopausal women, and female athletes that experience heavy menstrual volume may be at greater risk for poor iron status.Other factors that may affect iron status in athletes include losses due to.Female athletes are at even higher risk for iron deficiency as compared to males due to monthly blood loss associated with menstruation. Athletes may also be at risk for iron deficiency due to insufficient dietary iron intake.

Remember, the body is not very effective at absorbing dietary iron.
