Relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) is a result of low energy availability due to an increase in intensity of exercise accompanied with low caloric intake. RED-S has become an increasingly common diagnosis for many athletes, especially athletes who practice weight restrictive measures for competition. This condition is seen in sports such as gymnastics, weightlifting and wrestling. Research has examined the effects of low energy availability (EA) on the growth of adolescent athletes by examining body composition, serum biomarkers, and athletic performance.
Upon completion of this presentation, learners should be able to:
- Explain the role nutrition plays in growth and development.
- Identify the signs and symptoms of athletes exhibiting relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S).
- Distinguish the proper steps in the treatment for these athletes.
- Express a practitioner’s role in mitigating RED-S in an adolescent athletic population.
