Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind to focus solely on the female athlete triad - its origins, its recognition, and most importantly, its management. Since the symptoms themselves cover a range of medical specialties, chapters are written by experts in a number of relevant fields - sports medicine, orthopedics, endocrinology, and pediatrics - with an eye toward overall care of the young female athlete. Additionally, each chapter includes suggestions on how to educate and communicate with young athletes and their parents, as well as trainers and coaches, on how to manage the illness outside of the direct clinical setting. The female athlete triad is often seen in sports where low body weight is emphasized, such as gymnastics, figure skating, and running, though it can appear in any sport or activity. The interrelated symptoms - eating disorders, amenorrhea, and low bone mass - exist on a spectrum of severity and are serious and potentially life-threatening if not properly treated. Psychological problems, in addition to medical ones, are not uncommon. The Female Athlete Triad: A Clinical Guide discusses all of these areas for a well-rounded and in-depth approach to the phenomenon and will be a useful reference for any clinician working with female athletes across the lifespan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Female Athlete Triad (FAT) is characterized by three individualized disorders that are present at the same time. Low energy availability with or without disordered eating, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis are the three components that make up the Female Athlete Triad. The competitive nature and extreme exercise expenditure of female athletes at the Division 1 level, increases their risk of experiencing the components of the Female Athlete Triad. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of the Female Athlete Triad in NCAA Division 1 female athletes. A total of 100 participants were chosen from various sports through Gardner-Webb University athletics. Each participant that met the inclusion criteria filled out an informed consent form before completing the surveys. The participants were asked questions about eating habits, menstruation and history of stress fracture. The results were evaluated with two separate analyses. The first was a chi-squared test was used to assess the different proportions risk factors associated with all of the participants. The second was used to evaluate each risk factor for each component of the Female Athlete Triad (the three questionnaires) as separate variables. It is hypothesized that NCAA Division 1 female athletes are at an increased risk of developing at least one, if not all components of the Female Athlete Triad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The female athlete triad has been shown to be of severe consequence for female athletes who do not consume enough dietary calories to meet the high energy demands of intense or prolonged physical activity. The three components of the triad (low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and low bone mass) can lead to severe and possibly permanent health complications such as amenorrhea, anovulation, stress fractures, and even osteoporosis. A review of the literature has found that most of the research has focused on exploring the depths of one component of the triad or on the interrelationship of two components of the triad. Only four research studies to date have examined the true prevalence of all three components of the triad. Other limitations of the research include a lack of 1) longitudinal data, 2)data on recreational runners (as opposed to elite runners), and 3)large scale studies. This thesis will serve to explain in detail the components of the present study, The Prevalence of the Female Athlete Triad in Recreational Endurance Runners, as well as a prospective follow-up study, Treatment Methods for Recreational Runners Presenting with the Female Athlete Triad: A Longitudinal Study. The goal for these two studies is to increase awareness and show support for the true prevalence of the female athlete triad in a large scale study using recreational runners as well as forming a foundation for prevention and treatment methods for future research concerning the triad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book gives a nice summary of the current state of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of bone stress injuries. It is particularly useful for sports medicine fellows and residents with an interest in athletes and active patients." ---Doody's Review Service, 3 stars Bone stress injuries are commonly seen in athletes and active individuals across a full spectrum of physical activity, age, and gender. While most overuse injuries can be addressed through non-operative care, injuries may progress to full fractures that require surgery if misdiagnosed or not correctly managed. Written by leaders in sports medicine including physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopaedics, endocrinology and allied health professionals of biomechanics, physical therapy and dietetics, Bone Stress Injuries offers state-of-the-art guidelines and up-to-date science and terminology to practitioners. Using a holistic approach to understand the management of bone stress injuries, this book highlights specific considerations by injury, gender, and risk factor to ensure that a comprehensive treatment plan can be developed to optimize bone health, neuromuscular re-education, gait mechanics, and injury prevention. Organized into four parts, opening chapters cover the general need-to-know topics, including clinical history, imaging, and risk factors including biological and biomechanical factors. The book proceeds anatomically through the body from upper extremity to foot and ankle injuries, with each chapter underscoring diagnostic and treatment strategies specific to that region. Chapters dedicated to special populations discuss the differences in injury evaluation and management according to age, gender, and military background. Final chapters review the prevention of injuries and examine both common and novel treatment strategies, such as medications, nutrition, gait retraining, orthobiologics, and other interventions. Invaluable in its scope and approach, Bone Stress Injuries is the go-to resource for sports medicine physicians, physiatrists, and primary care providers who manage the care of athletes and individuals leading active lifestyles. Key Features: Promotes evidence-based practice for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of bone stress injuries Covers specific anatomy that is prone to bone stress injuries with dedicated chapters on upper and lower extremities, pelvis and hip, spine, and foot and ankle Considers evaluation and management differences according to specific populations of pediatric, male, female, and military personnel Discusses emerging strategies to treat bone stress injuries, such as gait retraining, orthobiologics, and other non-pharmacological treatments

Book excerpt: The female athlete triad, otherwise known as the inter-relatedness of disordered eating, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis, is an area of increasing awareness in female athletes, which has not been explored in military women. We conducted a 3 part prospective cross-sectional study to define the prevalence of eating disorders, menstrual irregularities, and the full female athlete triad in military women. A total of 423 female soldiers from the general active-duty population completed Part 1 which included the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI). Any woman meeting the screening criteria for being 'at risk' (AR) for abnormal eating behaviors underwent a clinical interview to determine whether or not they had a true eating disorder (ED). Of the 423 women who participated, 33.6% (n=142) met the screening criteria for being AR for an eating disorder with 33 women (8%) actually meeting the criteria for an ED. Part 2 of the study, consisted of a clinical evaluation and laboratory studies of any woman with menstrual irregularities (MI). Including all women, 9% had amenorrhea, 6% oligomenorrhea, and 12% had onset of menarche older than 14 years of age. Excluding all women on hormonal birth control, the prevalence dropped to 2.1%, 3.3%, and 9.2% for amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, and menarche older than age 14 respectively. Of the women not on hormonal birth control, only 1% had both an ED and MI, and 3.5% of women AR also had MI. Part 3 of the study evaluated the bone mineral density (BMD) of all women from Parts 1 and 2 using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). There was no significant difference between the BMD of the femoral neck or the lumbar spine of 32 eumenorrheic controls with no abnormal eating behaviors and subjects with either MI, ED, or AR alone. Looking at those women with 2 variables, no women with both an ED and MI had the full triad who were not on hormonal birth.
Download or read book Musculoskeletal Health in Women written by Elinor Mody and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research indicates that gender differences in anatomy and physiology, endocrinology, hand eye co-ordination and motor development have an effect on the kinds of injuries incurred as a result of sporting activities. Since men and women have different responses to exercise; strength and conditioning programs should be modified for these differences. Musculoskeletal Health in Women was born out of a need to provide fitness advice tailored to women. For example, research has focused on correcting neuromuscular imbalances in women to prevent injuries. Increased abduction moment at the knee and balance problems have been found to be predictors of ACL injury. Muscle strengthening with special emphasis on the terminal knee extensors and hip abductors can improve these neuromuscular imbalances. Additionally, taping and bracing at the ankle may be helpful, particularly in women prone to certain injuries. Any discussion of women’s sports injuries is only complete if it includes the Female Athlete Triad: energy availability (which is affected by eating disorders), osteoporosis, and menstrual function. Musculoskeletal Health in Women provides a fully-illustrated and comprehensive overview of all of these aspects and its multidisciplinary approach ensures that expertise is provided from disciplines such as psychiatry, physiatry, endocrinology, nutrition, rheumatology, orthopedics, physical therapy and radiology. These authors have worked with women athletes of all ilks and are well equipped to address a full spectrum of issues related to the musculoskeletal health of women. Musculoskeletal Health in Women will be of primary interest to women athletes and women embarking on a fitness regimen. Health professionals working in this area would also invariably benefit from the advice and guidance provided within these pages.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the female athlete triad (disordered eating, amenorrhea, and low bone mineral density) in athletes and nonathletes and to determine if there was a difference between the two groups at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. The study consisted of 24 student athletes and 26 nonathlete students who completed a survey on disordered eating (Eating Disorder Inventory-3) and menstrual history. Also their height, weight and bone density (heel bone test) were recorded at the Nutrition Assessment Lab at UW-Stout. The study determined that 16.7% (n=4) of athletes and 11.5% (n=3) of nonathletes had both disordered eating and amenorrhea with no statistical significance between the groups. There were no participants in either group who had low bone mineral density when a t-score of -2.0 was used. In conclusion, the findings show that there were no cases of the complete female athlete triad among the athletes and nonathletes studied; however there are signs of the female athlete triad starting to form in both athletes and non-athletes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the important factors that must be considered when assessing and treating an athlete, the impact of patient sex is perhaps the most critical, yet historically has often been neglected. The "same injury" in a male patient may present differently, sometimes in subtle ways, than in a female patient and may require a different treatment approach. The Female Athlete, edited by Dr. Rachel Frank, provides concise, expert coverage of the ways in which common sports medicine injuries present in female patients versus male patients, describing recent literature analyzing sex differences in injury patterns and available treatment options. Provides a comprehensive review of key areas of importance related to care for women in sports, including the differences in care and treatment for male and female patients. Covers many of the most common injuries female athletes face, including ACL injuries, shoulder instability, concussion, stress fractures, female overuse injuries, and more. Considers prevention strategies, nutritional recommendations, as well as exercise recommendations for women during pregnancy.
