Introduction[edit | edit source]
One of the major medical concerns for women in sports is that of the female athlete triad which was initially defined at the Traid Consensus Conference in 1992[1].Also known simply as the Triad, this condition is seen in females participating in sports that emphasize leanness or low body weight[2].This behavious may lead to fatal consequences[3]. It is a syndrome which involve 3 distinct and interrelated conditions:
- Disordered Eating (a range of poor nutritional behaviour)
- Amenorrhea (irregular or absent menstural periods)
- Osteoporosis (low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, which leads to weak bones and risk of fractures)
The problem of the of the female athlete traid collectively, as well as its indiviual components, have since been recognized as potentially serious problems for girls and women in sports worldwide.[4][5]A study by Burrows et al has suggested that the current triad components do not identify all at-risk women; rather, the authors suggest that criteria such as exercise-related menstrual alterations, disordered eating, and osteopenia may be more appropriate[6].
