1
Q

American College of Sports Medicine defined Triad as

A

clinical entity that refers to the relationship between three interrelated components: energy availability, menstrual function and bone health

2
Q

what was added to the triad definition?

A

understanding of the pathophysiology - over a period of time the athlete moves along on a continuous spectrum ranging from healthy with optimal EA, regular menses and healthy bones to amenorrhoea, low EA and osteoporosis

3
Q

aetiological factor underpinning the triad

A

energy deficiency relative to the balance between dietary energy intake and energy expenditure to support homeostasis, health and the ADL, growth, and sporting activities

4
Q

a syndrome resulting form relative energy deficiency

A

affects many aspects of physiological function including metabolic rate, menstrual function, bone health, immunity, protein synthesis, CV and psych health - even in men

5
Q

what did the IOC coined as a new term for the female athlete triad?

A

relative energy deficiency in sport

6
Q

calculation for energy availability

A

EI - energy cost of exercise relative to FFM - 45kcal/kg FFM/day - energy balance
requires expertise and is generally imprecise

7
Q

what underpins a large proportion of cases of low EA?

A

disordered eating

8
Q

what are other reasons for low EAs (without psychological overlay)

A

mismanaged programme to quickly reduce body mass/fat or inability to track EI with an extreme exercise commitment

9
Q

Low EA in men

A

same at risk sports as female athletes - weight sensitive sports in which leanness and/or weight are important due to their role in performance, appearance or requirement to meet a competition weight category

10
Q

disordered eating

A

continuum starting with appropriate eating and exercise behaviours (occasional use of more extreme weight loss methods such as short term restrictive <30kcal/kg FFM) and ends with clinical eating disorders, abnormal eating behaviours, distorted body image, weight fluctuations, medical complications and variable athletic performance

11
Q

secondary amenorrhoea

A

absence of three consecutive cycle post menarche

12
Q

oligomenorrhea

A

cycle length greater than 45 days

13
Q

Aetiological factors in menstrual disorders in athletes - 5

A

abnormal levels of hormones, LH pulsatility, inadequate body fat stores, low EA and exercise stress

14
Q

marked reduction in EA and LH pulsatility

A

may disrupt it by affecting the hypothalamic hormone gonadotropin releasing hormone output which subsequently alters the menstrual cycle

15
Q

Low EA alters

A

levels of metabolic hormones and substrates - insulin, cortisol, GH, insulin like growth factor I, 3,3,5 - triiodothyroxine, grehlin, leptin, peptide tyrosine-tyrosine, glucose, FA, and ketones

16
Q

REDS have serious implications for

A

many body systems - short and long term compromise of optimal health and performance

17
Q

long term low EA - 3

A

nutrient deficiencies (including anaemia), chronic fatigue and increased risk of infections and illnesses, - harming health and performance

18
Q

physiological and medical complications of REDS - 7

A

CV, GI, endocrine, reproductive, musculoskeletal, renal and CNS

19
Q

Psychological aspects of REDS

A

Psychological stress and/or depression

20
Q

at what kcal/kg FFM is MPS reduced?

A

30

21
Q

Total energy expenditure = 4

A

Resting metabolic rate + thermos effect of food + non-exercise activity thermogenesis + energy expenditure from exercise

22
Q

Resting metabolic rate represents _% of total energy

A

38-47%

23
Q

Resting metabolic rate in elite athletes vs sedentary ind

A

60-80%

24
Q

Two equations to estimate energy requirement

A

Harris Benedict

  • Men = 66.5 + (13.7 X weight in kg) + (5 x height in cm) - (6.8 X age) = BMR
  • women = 655 + (9.6 X kg) + (1.8 X cm) - (4.7 x age) = BMR

Cunningham
- men and women = (370+ 21.6 X lean mass in kg) = BMR

25
Q

Estimated energy needs

A

BMR x activity level

Sedentary = 1.1, low = 1.3, mod = 1.5, active =1.7, very active = 1.8, extremely active = 1.9-2.1

26
Q

REDS and bone

A

peak bone mass - 19 in women and 20.5 in men - oestrogen increases uptake of calcium into blood and deposition into bone while progesterone facilitates actions of oestrogen through multiple complex mechanisms - silent imbalance (subclinical ovulatory disturbances) with low EA will produce negative changes in your bone.

27
Q

Testosterone and bone

A

anabolic effect in both men and women as it increases bone formation and calcium absorption
low levels = low bone marrow density in males

28
Q

endogenous oestrogens and androgens and bone

A

independent effects on bone development in both sexes

29
Q

stress hormones and bone

A

increase in it such as catecholamines and cortisol combined with low EA is bad

30
Q

functional impairments associated with low EA

A

greater prevalence of viral illnesses, injuries, and reduced responsiveness to training and subsequent performance

31
Q

Health consequence of REDS went from the triad to a wide range of outcomes - 10

A
immunological 
menstrual function 
bone health 
endocrine 
metabolic
hematological 
growth and development 
psychological 
CV 
GI
32
Q

psychological aspect and REDS

A

precede REDS or be the result

33
Q

Low EA in male athletes - 3

A

cyclists had severely reduced EA of 8kcal/kg FFM

  • cycling, gravitational (high jump, pole vault, ski jump, and weight class sports
  • endocrine function and direct and indirect impacts on bones
34
Q

energy availability

A

amt of dietary energy available to the body to perform all other functions after the cost of exercise is subtracted

35
