Description
Learning Objectives
• Define the Triad and describe the relationship between energy deficiency and the endocrine changes leading to amenorrhea (females) or hypogonadism (males) and reduced bone mineral density.
• Evaluate an athlete for energy deficiency and utilize additional evidence-based resources for assessing attitudes and behaviors or physiological markers associated with energy deficiency/low energy availability
• Implement effective dietary strategies for treating energy deficiency among female and male athletes while working together as a collaborative member of a multidisciplinary treatment team
