Download or read book The Female Athlete Triad written by Catherine M. Gordon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 187 pages. 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.
Download or read book Bone Stress Injuries written by Adam S. Tenforde, MD and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-07-17 with total page 219 pages. 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
Download or read book The Female Athlete Triad in Collegiate Athletes and Non athlete Undergraduate Students at a Division III University written by Andrea R. Cook and published by . 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.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Female Athlete Triad (Triad) is the three interrelated conditions of low energy availability with or without disordered eating, menstrual irregularity or amenorrhea, and osteoporosis, and is a health concern that affects active women of all ages who participate in physical activity. Although associations have been found between the individual components of the Triad, research is still limited on all Triad components occurring simultaneously in athletes. In addition, research on the college-age female population is currently limited. The purpose of this study was to examine Triad risk factors in the college-age female athlete population compared to the non-athlete population, specifically focusing on the risk factor of inadequate energy availably and eating disorders. A non-experimental cross-sectional study design was conducted during the spring semester to assess presence of the Triad risk factors among females attending a Midwestern university. A total for 1537 female students participated in this study. An online survey composed of the LEAF-Q questionnaire and the EAT-26 questionnaire was used to assess the risk factors for the Female Athlete Triad and risk for eating disorders, respectively. Independent samples t-tests and chi square tests were used to analyze differences in risk for low energy availability and risk for eating disorders between the two groups of participants. There were no significant differences between the athlete and non-athlete groups, in risk for the Female Athlete Triad as measured by the mean LEAF-Q scores. However, within the athlete group, associations were found in number of training days, age of first menstrual period, and amenorrhea for three consecutive months. Results showed no significant (p =0.74) differences between athlete and non-athlete groups in risk for eating disorders using mean EAT-26 scores. More non-athletes (20%) were associated with avoiding foods with carbohydrate content, while a higher number of athletes (4%) were associated with having the impulse to vomit after meals. Additionally, a significant (p = 0.01) difference was found between the athlete and non-athlete groups in their response to the question, "Gone on eating binges where you feel that you may not be able to stop?" Overall, there were no significance (p = 0.07) differences between the number of athletes who were considered at risk for both inadequate energy intake and an eating disorder compared to non-athletes. Associations between athletes and the Female Athlete Triad are evident, but the Triad components are not yet fully understood. Results of this study suggest a need for screening and monitoring female athletes for Triad risk factors.

Download or read book Association of Cognitive Dietary Restraint and Energy Availability Dietary Intake Menstrual Function Bone Density and Select Hormones Among Female Adolescent Distance Runners written by Kristen L. Wood and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Though components of the Female Athlete Triad were redefined, disordered eating patterns still pose a risk to energy status and health of female adolescent athletes. This cross-sectional study assessed the association between cognitive dietary restraint and energy availability, macro- and micronutrient intakes, food group intake, menstrual function, and bone density in female adolescent endurance runners (n=41, age 15.71 + 1.08 y). Independent-sample t-tests examined significant differences between those with elevated and non-elevated restraint. ANCOVA tested for significant differences in bone density between groups controlling for BMI. Linear regression examined relationships between restraint and diet intakes. Those with elevated restraint had significantly higher body weight (p=0.049), higher resting metabolic rate (p=0.042), higher daily energy expenditure (p=0.047), higher fiber intake (p=0.017), lower daily servings of grains (p=0.011), higher daily servings of fruits (p=0.005), and lower lumbar spine z-scores (p=0.032). Lumbar spine z-scores remained significantly lower after controlling for BMI (p=0.01). Restraint subscale score significantly predicted relative intakes of calories, carbohydrate, fiber, fat and daily servings of grains, fruits, vegetables, and sweets. These findings suggest there is an association between cognitive dietary restraint and certain measures of diet intake and Female Athlete Triad-related health in female adolescent endurance runners.
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.

Download or read book Eating Disorders in Sport written by Ron A. Thompson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifteen years, there has been a great increase in the knowledge of eating disorders in sport and effective means of treatment. In this book, the authors draw on their extensive clinical experience to discuss how to identify, manage, treat, and prevent eating disorders in sport participants. They begin by examining the clinical conditions related to eating problems, including descriptions of specific disorders and a review of the relevant literature. Special attention is given to the specific gender and sport-related factors that can negatively influence the eating habits of athletes. The second half of the book discusses identification of participants with disordered eating by reviewing symptoms and how they manifest in sport; management issues for sport personnel, coaches, athletic trainers, and healthcare professionals; treatment; and medical considerations, such as the use of psychotropic medications. A list of useful resources is included in an appendix, as well as a glossary of important terms.

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.
