FROM FEMALE ATHLETE TRIAD TO RELATIVE ENERGY DEFICIENCY IN SPORT (REDS): WHAT DIETITIANS NEED TO KNOW
You may have heard of the Female Athlete Triad, but did you know about Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs)? Learn what this new framework is all about and why it's so relevant to people who exercise. Active clients who come to you with multiple seemingly unrelated symptoms may be struggling with REDs. Keep up on the latest research, be empowered to help your clients navigate their fueling needs, and understand what clinical assessment tools are available. Understanding REDs is vital for any dietitian working with athletes and active people.

- Name signs and symptoms of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport.
- Identify how to determine if an athlete may be safe to train and compete.
