Without being a party pooper here, as a lot of us are enjoying the Olympics. (My hubby is sitting up at ungodly hours watching the Olympics). Just a timely reminder of the dangers of Relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) which is a condition of low energy availability affecting male and female athletes of all levels and ages.
It has wide-ranging adverse effects on all bodily systems and can seriously compromise long term health and performance.
In the clinical presentation of this condition, there rarely is just 1 symptom most of these cases are complex such as compounding effects of fatigue, mood & hormonal disorders, digestive disorders and an inability to function.
Take care and for those of us who are armchair athletes, we have nothing to worry about.........
