Date: 01.07.2025, Time: 12:00 - 13:15, Session Room: Arco

Description

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) is common among female and male athletes representing various sports at different performance levels, and the underlying cause is problematic (severe/long-term) low energy availability (LEA). It is essential to prevent problematic LEA to decrease the risk of serious health aspects such as impaired bone health and eating disorders as well as performance consequences such as sport injuries. This Symposium will address REDs primary, secondary and tertiary prevention strategies targeting researchers as well as coaches, the athlete health and performance team and sport organisations.
