Speaker: Sally Bowman, M.ED,RD,CSSD,LD
Title: Athletic Energy Deficit
While many health professionals know about the “female athlete triad” and
its consequences, fewer are aware of the term “athletic energy deficit.”
Sally will explain the definitions of each and illustrate how knowing the
signs of both of these issues can help prevent health problems in the
athletic or very active population. Discover why athletic 8-14 year old
females are especially at risk and how to intervene. In addition, Sally will
illustrate how many adult female athletes or avid exercisers can put
themselves at risk for athletic energy deficit and what you can do about it.
