Purpose
The purpose was to evaluate the individual and combined use of the Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire (LEAF-Q) and the Brief Eating Disorder in Athletes Questionnaire (BEDA-Q) to detect clinical indicators associated with Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs).
Methods
In this cross-sectional study, 50 female endurance at...
Background
Sports nutrition science and practice
• In theory, sports nutrition guidelines intend to support
health and improve performance by adjusting energy
and nutrient intake to sport-specific demands.
• In practice, athletes often fail to align dietary intake to
sport-specific guidelines, resulting in suboptimal energy
and nutrient intake jeo...
Introduction: Nutritional knowledge has been shown to be one factor influencing nutritional status and diet-related decisions among athletes. Assessing knowledge status allows the identification of knowledge gaps, which can subsequently be addressed during nutritional counseling. This study aimed to assess sports nutrition knowledge of athletes aff...
Relative energy deficiency in sports (RED-S) is centered by chronic low energy availability (LEA), with a bidirectional causative relationship with mental health. Aside the well-established link between eating disorders and LEA, exercise addiction (ExA) has been proposed as another independent LEA risk factor. The aim of this investigation was to a...
The competitive season in long-distance triathlon is characterized by increases in training load and volume from off- to peak-season, when athletes enter their primary competition. When athletes fail to meet the increased energy demand through the diet, either unintentionally or in attempts to improve their performance by means of weight loss, they...
Hintergrund: Die Wettkampfvorbereitung auf einen Langdistanztriathlon (typischerweise 3,8/180/42,2 km Schwimmen/
Radfahren/Laufen) geht mit erhöhten Trainingsvolumen einher.
Der dadurch erhöhte Energieverbrauch kann das Risiko eines
relativen Energiemangels (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports,
RED-S) begünstigen. Ziel dieser Untersuchung war, das...
Vitamin D (VitD) and its physiological function in regulating calcium/phosphorus absorption and bone remineralization werefirst described in the early 20thcentury. A better understanding of VitD signaling has advanced our understanding of the importance of adequate VitD status to human health and performance.
Tissues relevant to athletes which de...
