Changes in energy availability across the season in Division I female soccer players

Abstract

Low energy availability [(energy intake – exercise expenditure)/kg lean body mass], a component of the Female Athlete Triad, has been associated with menstrual disturbances and low bone mass. No studies have examined the energy availability of athletes across a season. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of, and what contributes to, low energy availability in Division I female soccer players across a season. Nineteen participants aged 18–21 years (mean [Vdot]O_2max: 57.0 ± 1.0 mL · kg^?1 · min^?1) were studied during the pre, mid, and post season. Mean energy availability was overall lowest at mid season, and lower at mid than post season (35.2 ± 3.7 vs. 44.5 ± 3.7 kcal · kg^?1 lean body mass, P = 0.009). Low energy availability (<30 kcal · kg^?1 lean body mass) was observed in 5/19 (26.3%), 5/15 (33.3%), and 2/17 (11.8%) of participants during the pre, mid, and post season. Dietary energy intake was lower mid (P = 0.008) and post season (P = 0.022) than it was pre season (pre: 2794 ± 233 kcal · day^?1; mid: 2208 ± 156 kcal · day^?1; post: 2161 ± 143 kcal · day^?1). Exercise energy expenditure decreased significantly (P ≤ 0.001) over time (pre: 819 ± 57 kcal · day^?1; mid: 642 ± 26 kcal · day^?1; post: 159 ± 28 kcal · day^?1). Low energy availability was due to lower dietary energy intake at lunch during pre season (P = 0.014) and during lunch and dinner during mid season (P ≤ 0.030). Energy availability was inversely related to body dissatisfaction (r = ?0.62, P = 0.017) and drive for thinness (r = ?0.55, P = 0.041) during mid season. Although most Division I female soccer players are not at risk for low energy availability, a concerning proportion exhibited low energy availability at pre or mid season. Further studies are needed to explore strategies to prevent and monitor low energy availability in these athletes.     

我国滑雪场所生态补偿机制构建的措施

在我国滑雪场所开发、建设和经营活动中,由于缺乏一个＂边开发、边保护、边恢复＂的长效生态补偿机制,使其对森林和植被的破坏,水资源的大量消耗,垃圾处理和污物排放等诸多问题长期悬而未决,严重影响了我国滑雪旅游产业步入健康、可持续的发展轨道。构建我国滑雪场所生态补偿机制符合国家民生发展的需要,对推动山区、林地生态环境保护的法制建设,促进生态环境良性连锁反应保护与发展机制的完善具有积极的重要作用。提出更新理念、加大对生态环境文明建设的宣传和教育力度,构建滑雪场所建设法规体系,强化生态补偿的管理制度与管理体系工作,建立多元化的生态补偿机制等是构建滑雪场所生态补偿机制的主要途径。
