Comparison of Female Athlete Triad Coalition and RED-S risk assessment tools

ABSTRACT

The Female Athlete Triad Coalition (Triad Coalition) and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) consensus statements each include risk assessment tools to guide athlete eligibility decisions. This study examined how these tools categorized the same set of individuals to an overall risk factor score and qualitatively compared athlete eligibility decisions resulting from each tool. Exercising women (n = 166) with complete screening/baseline datasets from multiple previously conducted studies were assessed. Data used for risk assessment included: anthropometric measurements, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scans, exercise and health status surveys, and two disordered eating questionnaires (Three Factor Eating Questionnaire and Eating Disorder Inventory). Individuals were scored on each tool and subsequently categorized as either fully cleared, provisionally cleared, or restricted from play. Based on the Triad Coalition tool, 25.3% of subjects were classified as fully cleared, 62.0% as provisionally cleared, and 12.7% as restricted from play. Based on the RED-S tool, 71.7% of subjects were classified as fully cleared, 18.7% as provisionally cleared, and 9.6% as restricted from play. The Triad Coalition and RED-S tools resulted in different clearance decisions (p < 0.001), with the Triad Coalition tool recommending increased surveillance of a greater number of athletes.     

女运动员三联征研究进展

女运动员三联征包括闭经、骨质疏松和饮食紊乱,它最早是由美国运动医学联合会于1992年提出的。运动性闭经是月经失调最严重的形式,可分为两种类型：原发性闭经和继发性闭经,女运动员骨质疏松的发病率要高于普通女性,女运动员需要在20岁以前尽可能地累积以提高峰值骨量。饮食紊乱也包括两种形式：神经性厌食和神经性贪食,饮食紊乱在某些体育运动项目中发生的危险性较高,文章综述了女运动员三联征各组分及其相互之间关系和诊断与管理的研究进展。     

"女运动员三联征"的研究现状及其能量平衡调节机制

“女运动员三联征”包括了相互联系的三个征象，即进食障碍、闭经和早发骨质疏松。这三种症状在女运动员经常同时出现，尤其易发生在那些从事美学和生理学上依赖低体脂或低体重取得成功的项目的运动员中，是影响女运动员健康和竞技状态的重要因素。女运动员三联征与机体能量不平衡有关。从机体能量平衡调节的角度综述女运动员三联征的发生机制。     

女性运动员与进食障碍

进食障碍(eating disorders,EDS)主要是指以反常的摄食行为和心理紊乱为特征、伴有显著的体重改变和/或生理功能紊乱的一组综合征.其主要的临床类型包括:神经性厌食症、神经性贪食症和非典型性进食障碍.运动员存在的进食障碍多为非典型性进食障碍,且以女性居多,其发病的危险性是非运动员女性的3倍以上.     

体教结合之探索——以清华大学附属中学体育特长班为例

运动员的竞技能力训练和文化知识培养一直是我国竞技体育发展中存在的一个突出问题,也是当前竞技体育和学校教育的研究热点.清华附中在长达20年开设体育特长班的过程中,始终将"育人至上,全面发展"作为培养的方向,坚持大学与中学衔接、学习与体育并重、选拔和输送一体的原则,为培养具有完整人格、良好文化素质和优异运动成绩的学生运动员进行了有益的探索.     

我国成人高等体育教育面临的挑战与改革

成人高等体育教育伴随着社会主义市场经济体制的建立与国内外教育环境的变化,面临着社会的、经济的、科技的、体制的、教育质量与管理等方面的挑战,因此必须加大改革力度,以社会需求为导向,以学习者为中心,创建形式多样的办学模式,为社会培养大批的体育专用人才。     

高校女大学生肥胖认知及健康行为干预调查研究--以山西大学商务学院为例

健康理念已是贯彻当今社会大环境的主题词,而今在青年力量军中,高校学生对于健康的认知渗透还远远不够。了解山西大学商务学院女大学生肥胖认知状态及其健康干预的行为,可具体探究并落实健康干预方向及方法,从而改善以女大学生为基数的青年学子对健康深度的认知。通过调查发现女大学生发展健康身体行为方法较单一,多元性不够。学校应有针对性地开展内容广泛的健康教育及促进活动,改善高校女大学生肥胖认知问题。     

Frontal plane comparison between drop jump and vertical jump: implications for the assessment of ACL risk of injury

The potential to use the vertical jump (VJ) to assess both athletic performance and risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury could have widespread clinical implications since VJ is broadly used in high school, university, and professional sport settings. Although drop jump (DJ) and VJ observationally exhibit similar lower extremity mechanics, the extent to which VJ can also be used as screening tool for ACL injury risk has not been assessed. This study evaluated whether individuals exhibit similar knee joint frontal plane kinematic and kinetic patterns when performing VJs compared with DJs. Twenty-eight female collegiate athletes performed DJs and VJs. Paired t-tests indicated that peak knee valgus angles did not differ significantly between tasks (p = 0.419); however, peak knee internal adductor moments were significantly larger during the DJ vs. VJ (p < 0.001). Pearson correlations between the DJ and VJ revealed strong correlations for knee valgus angles (r = 0.93, p < 0.001) and for internal knee adductor moments (r = 0.82, p < 0.001). Our results provide grounds for investigating whether frontal plane knee mechanics during VJ can predict ACL injuries and thus can be used as an effective tool for the assessment of risk of ACL injury in female athletes.
