Q

important things to remember when assessing EA

A
  • weight loss not always present
  • with chronic low EA, weight maintenance may be achieved
  • low EA is keeping the individual at a lower BW and other risk factors are still in play (no menstrual, poor bone health)

25
examples of moderating factors of LEA
Characteristics of individual athletes, environment or behaviour/activities, gender, age, genetics
26
what can moderating factors do
may offer protection or additional risk in the progression from LEA exposure to expression of disturbances to health, wellbeing or performance
27
what can moderating factor vary according to
the body system and amplify or attenuate LEA
28
What influences dietary intake
determinant of food consumption - person related factors - environmetal related factors
29
person related factors of the determinants of food consumption
- nutrition knowledge - taste and food preferences - appetite - influencers (family, teammates, coaches, sport, culture) - psychological - biological - medical history
30
environmental related factors of the determinants of food consumption
- time available/schedule - economic/food security - cultural background - cooking skills - access to food - cooking and kitchen equipment
31
What is REDs
syndrome of impaired physiological and/or psychological functioning experienced by females and male athletes
32
what is REDs caused by
exposure to problematic (prolonged and/or severe) LEA
33
What are the detrimental outcomes of REDs
decreases in energy metabolism, reproductive function, musculoskeletal health, immunity, glycogen synthesis and cardiovascular and haematological health
34
what can all the outcomes of REDs synergistically lead to
impaired wellbeing, increased injury risk and decreased sports performance
35
disordered eating
- abnormal eating behaviours - includes restrictive eating, compulsive eating or irregular or inflexible eating patterns, excessive exercise, use of purgatives - behaviours do not meet clinical criteria for eating disorder
36
eating disorder
- mental illnesses clinically diagnosed by meeting defined criteria characterized by abnormal eating behaviours
37
examples of eating disorders
self-induced restricting food intake, ppreoccupation wiht body shape or weight, bingeing and purging (self induced emesis, laxative use, excessive exercise, diuretic use)
38
what is the female athlete triad
the interrelationships among energy availability, menstrual function, and bone mineral density
39
what are the three components of the female athlete triad
1. LEA (with or wihtout ED) 2. amenorrhea/menstrual dysfunction 3. osteoporosis/low bone mineral density
40
what is the triad on
spectrums
41
what is the optimal side of the triad spectrum
optimal energy availability, eumenorrhea, optimal bone health
42
what is the bad side of the triad spectrum
low energy availability with or without eating disorder, functional hypothalamic amenorrhea, osteoporosis
43
what is the middle of the triad spectrum
reduced energy availability, subclinical menstrual disorders, low BMD
44
what is amennorhea
absence of menstrual period (1 and 2)
45
primary amenorrhea
delay in the onset of puberty and the menarche (first period @ > 15yrs)
46
secondary amenorrhea
disruption in a normal menstrual cycle, missing a period for >3 months
47
what happens to hormones with amenorrhea
low estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels
48
what may amenorrhea be related to
infertility and other long term health problems
49
causes of low BMD
- decreased estrogen from ovaries (estrogen increases uptake of calcium into blood and deposit in bone) - reduced intake of important nutrients for bone health (protein, calcium, vit d)
50
when does BMD decrease
as # of menstrual cycles missed increases
51
what increases with low BMD
stress fractures
52
when does peak bone mass occur
for females 19 yrs males 20.5 yrs
53
what is the bone loss for athletes
may be irreversible
54
how long is recovery of triad
can be years
55
warning signs of REDs or LEA in PA or sport
- inconsistent training - poor training response - decreased performance at training and competitions
56
warning signs of REDs or LEA in sleep
- high levels of fatigue= increased hrs of sleep - poor sleep quality
57
warning signs of REDs or LEA for body
- <9 menstrual cycles per 12 month period - low libido - >2 bone injuries - low ferritin not responding to proper supplementation - restrictive eating habits - GI problems - weight loss or consistent BW - drop in muscle mass and strength - change in mood/irritable
58
other factors that impact fatigue
- dehydration - poor sleep quality - under fueling (intentional or unintentional) - doing workouts fasted - stress (emotional and physical) - low carb intake (could be enough cals) - illness - poor planning with school/work and training schedule - low iron stores - caffeine withdrawal
59
what is a symptom of LEA that also can worsen LEA
Mental health issues
60
REDs symptoms caused by LEA
- Impaired reproductive function - impaired bone health - impaired GI function - impaired energy metabolism/regulation - impaired haematological function - urinary incontinence - impaired glucose and lipid metabolism - mental health issues - impaired neurocognitive function - sleep disturbances - impaired cardiovascular function - reduced skeletal muscle function - impaired growth and development - reduced immunity
61
REDs symptoms that affect sport that are caused by LEA
Decreased: - athlete availability - training response - recovery - cognitive performance/skill - motivation - muscle strength - endurance performance - power performance
62
what is needed to screen and diagnosis REDs
special focus on the athlete at risk is needed
63
why is the screening and diagnosis of REDs challenging
symptomology can be subtle and further complicated by the diverse list of potential different diagnosis measurement of energy availability and exercise expenditure if challenging
64
what needs to be considered when screening and diagnosing for REDs
health, performance, moderating factors, exposure, the individual
