Question 11: Write a note on Female Athlete Triad.
Answer: Though participation in sports brings a lot of physical, psychological and social benefits for women however, sports like Judo, boxing, wrestling, taekwondo etc. exert a lot of pressure on athletes to maintain their shape and weight. For participation in sports like distance running, cycling, cross country etc. athletes have to take a balanced diet since these demand high levels of energy and a good quantity of dietary intake. Such pressures put the athlete’s health at risk and leads to Female Athlete Triad.
The term ‘triad’ was first described by American college of sports medicine in 1992. The three components that are now used to describe the Female Athlete Triad are:
(a) Low energy availability with or without eating disorder
(b) Dysfunction of menstruation
(c) Low bone density
All these three components can be easily resolved by proper energy intake and expenditure and same may be used as effective strategy. Thus, if an individual takes optimum calories as required by body, including energy required for physical activity and energy required for body functions, the result is promotion of healthy bones and normal menstrual function. All three components are very much interlinked.
