FTP #27: Helena Trigueiro & Rita Giro, - RED-S & disordered eating in endurance athletes: A nutritionists' perspective

RED-S is the broader, more comprehensive name for what was formerly known as female athlete triad (or simply the triad), which was a condition seen in females participating in sports that emphasize leanness or low body weight. As it was also seen in males, the name was changed to the comprehensive term RED-S which may be more frequent than we think and that can have serious consequences not only for exercise performance of athletes but for their long-term health as well.
