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.

Book excerpt: After decades of work to identify and remove barriers to sports participation, female athletes are now participating in recreational and competitive sports at record numbers. However, female athletes are still underrepresented in sports research, leaving dangerous gaps in knowledge that we need to fill to encourage the development of more complete female athletes with better performance, healthier bodies, and improved mental health. Epidemiology provides a helpful framework for confronting these knowledge gaps and preventing them from undercutting the next generation of female athletes. It's urgent that female athletes are not treated as "smaller" male athletes, or worse--ignored altogether. By studying female athletes and addressing the unique physiological and sociological challenges they face, then translating the research into practical guidance and education, we have an opportunity to support generations of athletes to come. Every female athlete should have the tools to find their personal definition of "strong, " understanding how that individual and evolving strength will bring out their best in sports and in life. In this dissertation, I address pressing problems facing female athletes to evaluate new strategies for improving health and well-being by applying epidemiological principles and studies on research translation. The chapters in this dissertation intersect to cover six themes: (1) mental health; (2) bone health; (3) energy availability; (4) menstrual cycle; (5) performance; and (6) research translation (Figure 1-1). Chapter 1 introduces the scope of the field and how the themes intersect. In Chapters 2 and 3, we evaluate the effect of a nutrition education intervention on bone stress injury rates among female distance runners at two NCAA Division I institutions across a seven-year prospective study. In Chapter 4, we examine how a five-part video education series compares to online educational pamphlets for improving high school female runners' knowledge and for capturing their interest. In Chapter 5, we assess the risk of the Female Athlete Triad in ultramarathoners and complete exploratory analyses examining hormonal biomarkers and bone mineral density. And finally, in Chapter 6, we examine how early COVID-19 restrictions impacted the mental health and training of endurance athletes, which provides a broader context for how mental and physical health can be impacted by external factors, and how we can support athletes who are navigating prolonged breaks from competition. Recognizing and uplifting female athletes requires understanding their unique mental and physical health contexts, addressing the specific challenges they face, and empowering them to find their strong, in sports and in life.

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

This book was released on 1999 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background. Although weight-bearing exercise among previously sedentary adult females can increase bone mineral density (BMD), cross-sectional studies suggest that high-intensity exercise among amenorrheic athletes may be detrimental to bone health. The long-term effects of athletic participation on BMD should be examined. Objectives. This study was designed to: (1) Determine the prevalence of varsity athletic participation among female university graduates who participated in a mail survey; and, (2) Compare BMDs of high school varsity female athletes with women who were sedentary during the same time period, while controlling for covariates. Methods. A survey was mailed to 7291 alumnae of 2 Southern California universities in the classes of 1987-1991. The survey was returned by 1900 (26.1 %), and 1373 (72.3%) consented to further contact. Of the latter, 73 athletes (70.6% of those eligible) and 67 controls (53.1 % of those eligible), all 30-35 years of age, in a clinic evaluation, provided their health histories, anthropometric measurements, physical activity and dietary assessments, and dual energy x-ray absorptiometer measurements of the hip and spine. Results. Athletes were taller (p

Download or read book Exploration of the Independent and Combined Effects of Energy and Estrogen on Bone Metabolism, Bone Structure, and Estimated Bone Strength in Young Exercising Women written by Emily Southmayd and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Female Athlete Triad (Triad), a syndrome of low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and low bone mineral density (BMD), affects up to 60% of exercising girls and women. As such, understanding the physiology underlying the Triad is imperative in order to identify therapeutic targets and develop effective treatment strategies to prevent long-term health detriments in afflicted women. Bone health is a major clinical outcome of concern in female athletes and exercising women with the Triad, as bone loss or suboptimal peak bone mass development may predispose women to osteoporosis and related fractures later in life. To garner a better understanding of factors contributing to bone health and to inform guidelines for treatment targets in female athletes and exercising women with the Triad, this purpose of this dissertation was 1) to assess the unique and combined effects of energy status and estrogen status on volumetric BMD (vBMD), bone geometry, and estimated bone strength in exercising women, 2) to assess the unique and combined effects of energy status and estrogen status on bone turnover in exercising women, 3) to evaluate predictors of change in bone turnover dynamics across a 12-month nutritional intervention in women with exercise-associated menstrual disturbances, and 4) to determine if bone turnover dynamics at baseline impact BMD outcomes in women with exercise-associated menstrual disturbances participating in a nutritional intervention. Key findings of the studies that made up this dissertation implicate that energy status is a main driving factor dictating vBMD, bone geometry, estimated bone strength, and bone metabolism in exercising women. The results indicate that improving energetic status will not only improve bone turnover at the cellular level, but that bone turnover favoring bone formation over bone resorption will also predict improved BMD in the following year. The findings support the guidelines put forth by the Female Athlete Triad Coalition that endorse nutritional therapy as the first line of treatment for the Triad, as low energy availability is the root cause of the clinical sequelae, including menstrual dysfunction and compromised bone health.
