Screening for risk of low energy availability in athletic and recreationally active females in Ireland

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Low energy availability (LEA) results in physiological adaptations, which can contribute to unfavourable health outcomes. Little information exists on risk of LEA in active individuals competing in different sports or levels of competition. The aims of this study were to (1) identify risk of LEA in females competing at different levels of competition and (2) investigate associations between risk of LEA, illness and dietary habits. Methods: The validated questionnaire, ‘Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire’ was distributed online (November 2016–February 2017) to assess risk of LEA. Twenty-nine additional questions collected information on demographics, illness history and dietary habits. Participants were considered at risk of LEA if they attained a score of?≥?8 and were grouped into: (i) international; (ii) provincial/inter-county; (iii) competitive; and (iv) recreationally active. Chi-square and logistic regression analyses were used to explore differences between those at risk or not at risk of LEA. Results: Risk of LEA was identified in 40% (n?=?331) of 833 participants and was 1.7 and 1.8 times more likely in international and provincial/inter-county athletes compared to those who were recreationally active (International: odds ratios (OR) 1.68, 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) 1.12–2.54; Provincial/inter-county: OR 1.83, 95%CI 1.20–2.77). In participants at risk of LEA, missing >22 days of training during the previous year due to illness occurred 3 times more frequently (OR 3.01, 95%CI 1.81–5.02). Conclusion: Risk of LEA was widespread in this heterogeneous sample. Awareness of LEA and the development of appropriate energy management strategies to ensure athlete health across levels of competition are required.     

中印两国勘探开发境外能源战略比较研究

由于中国和印度都面对着同样的国际环境,且基本国情相似,特别是在能源安全方面都面临着相同或相似的问题,即近年来经济呈现高速和持续增长,能源问题,尤其是石油问题已成为制约中印经济发展的最大瓶颈,中印都积极面向全球部署本国的能源战略,为迅猛增长的经济谋求充足的能源保障。我国的能源战略应向石油进口渠道多样化及多方面与石油输出国乃至消费国加强合作的途径发展。     

P-V图与热力学第一定律中的诸量

通过讨论热力学系统在准静态过程ΔE、A、Q诸量与P－V图中过程曲线之间的关系，可直接从P—V图上判断内能的增减、做功正负及热量交换的方向。     

浅谈风险

随着经济全球化的加速推进和信息化程度的快速提高,世界正在进入一个不同于传统社会的风险社会之中,社会突发性危机的不确定性、不可预见性和迅速扩散性都在日益增强。在发达的现代社会中,财富的社会生产系统地伴随着风险的社会生产;工业社会的财富分配逻辑也向晚期现代性的风险社会的风险分配逻辑转变。     

毛泽东关于生产力布局的思考与探索--兼谈西部开发的战略意义

生产力合理布局思想是毛泽东进行工业化道路整体构思的重要内容。它的产生经历了长期的过程，是探索社会主义建设道路中的重大贡献。毛泽东生产力合理布局思想兼顾国防，政治和经济三方面的要求，尽管后来偏离正确方向，但仍不失是实践中的真理，真理中的实践。社会主义建设新时期，开放沿海，创办特区特别最近的西部开发，则是毛泽东生产力合理布局思想的继承和发展。

司马睿幕府之构成特征简释

司马睿幕府继承了司马越府的传统,而又有所变异,南士与北士之间的比例,南士、北士各自的内部构成,以及军咨祭酒一职的地位,都较前府有很大的不同。睿府佐吏的地理分布与东晋初年高层政要的地理分布,有相合的部分,也有歧异的部分,其后隐伏的历史机理,值得我们深入探讨。
