Description

This teaching series will cover the role of nutritional interventions in sports-related goals, including muscle hypertrophy, sports performance, healthy weight loss, preventing muscle atrophy, preventing & treating injuries to the brain and bones, and avoiding relative energy deficiency syndrome (RED-S).

Slides & certificates will be sent out after each tutorial!

Summary

Tutorial 6/6 This final online session will address the complexity of relative energy deficiency syndrome (RED-S). This will include a discussion of the nutrients required for bone health, during which a critical analysis of a scientific study will be covered. Then, low energy availability (LEA), and how this, along with other risk factors can cause RED-S will be covered. Slides & certificates will be sent out after each tutorial!

Learning objectives

1. To understand how low energy availability (LEA) can negatively affect bone health 2. To recognise that LEA is a risk factor for relative energy deficiency syndrome (RED-S) 3. To be able to list other risk factors for RED-S 4. To be able to critically analyse a scientific paper
