ImpactModerate impact

Abstract in brief

  • Low energy availability (LEA) occurs when an athlete's body doesn't have enough energy to support basic physiological functions, which can harm health and performance.
  • Athletes, both female and male, are at risk of LEA due to factors like body dissatisfaction, social pressure, and high energy expenditure from their sports, with social media also playing a role.
  • LEA can lead to serious health issues such as hormonal imbalances, reproductive problems, and metabolic changes, underscoring the importance of understanding its causes, effects, and prevention strategies.]

eating less and training more actually can lead to a whole host of problems if it becomes long term they call this “low energy availability” and will likely lead to hormone issues down the line, especially in women https://t.co/A6axuHvcqE https://t.co/5lgKcmS7Se

@achy_jakeyheart @InsideTrack7 @performance_ni @Pnoe_Analytics @madigan_sharon Agreed. I'd add that some athletes are unintentionally not eating enough and it's not as simple as "eat when you're hungry". https://t.co/nbncy6eqpx
