Abstract in brief

  • The IOC updated its guidelines to address the broader condition previously known as the Female Athlete Triad, now called Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDS), which affects both male and female athletes by impairing various physiological functions due to energy deficiency.
  • REDS is caused by an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure, leading to issues such as hormonal disturbances, bone health problems, immune suppression, and cardiovascular concerns, often influenced by psychological factors.
  • The consensus provides practical models for assessing risk and managing athletes, including a Sport Risk Assessment and Return to Play Model that categorizes REDS severity and guides clinical decisions to protect athlete health and performance.]
