- 0:11and I'm with the Canadian Sport
- 0:14Institute Pacific and University of
- 0:16Victoria in British Columbia Canada
- 0:19today I'll be talking about nutritional
- 0:21considerations for female athlete bone
- 0:24health
- 0:26and why this topic is important we do
- 0:31know from research female athletes are
- 0:33at a high risk for launch availability
- 0:36or Lea
- 0:37and Lea in turn is one of the main
- 0:41underlying factors for the development
- 0:43of poor bone health outcomes
- 0:45and what makes bone injuries such a
- 0:48challenging topic is that they take a
- 0:51long time to develop
- 0:53so it's sometimes difficult to see
- 0:54warning signs until the alphabet
- 0:56develops the injury
- 0:58and by this point the athlete may have
- 1:00months or years of learning availability
- 1:02behind them so this highlights the
- 1:05importance of appropriate primary
- 1:07secondary and tertiary tertiary
- 1:09prevention measures to protect female
- 1:12athlete bone health
- 1:14so launch of our ability and its
- 1:17outcomes can be seen as an iceberg we
- 1:20want to be able to detect what can be
- 1:22seen above the surface uh all those
- 1:25signs and symptoms that are visible to
- 1:26us are easy to measure to be able to
- 1:28prevent whatever is going on behind or
- 1:32below the surface
- 1:34and Bone outcomes are something that are
- 1:37often invisible to us
- 1:41some of the definitions that I'll be
- 1:43using throughout this webinar when I
- 1:45talk about poor bone health here I refer
- 1:48to low bmd or bone density
- 1:51so agency specific Z score of less than
- 1:54minus 1.0 or bone stress injuries with
- 2:00bone stress injuries we refer to
- 2:02anything from stress reactions to
- 2:04complete stress fractures and although
- 2:08this webinar is directed to nutrition
- 2:10only it's important to highlight that
- 2:13bone stress injuries are multifactorial
- 2:15and complex in nature so there are many
- 2:18other non-nutritional factors that can
- 2:21increase the risk of bone outcomes and
- 2:24can also be used to treat bone health
- 2:27impairments so things like training
- 2:30characteristics impact loading and so on
- 2:34so possibly the most important
- 2:38nutritional consideration in terms of
- 2:39bone health is energy availability
- 2:42and when we talk about energy
- 2:43availability we refer to the balance
- 2:46between dietary energy intake and
- 2:48exercise energy expenditure and whatever
- 2:51is left from this equation
- 2:54um is factors of a free mass and this is
- 2:57what we call initiable ability
- 2:59and when this amount of energy left is
- 3:02not enough to cover all the
- 3:06requirements of other body systems we
- 3:09talk about launch availability or Lea
- 3:12and it's important to highlight that Lea
- 3:14can be intentional or unintentional
- 3:18intentional can be something like
- 3:20attempts to lose body weight or eating
- 3:23disorders but many athletes develop Lea
- 3:26without aiming to do so so thinking of
- 3:29athletes in high energy expenditure
- 3:32Sports rowing Triathlon team sports but
- 3:35also athletes who are maybe uneducated
- 3:38or unaware of the energy energetic
- 3:41demands of daily training and living
- 3:45and when a launch availability is long
- 3:49enough or severe enough we talk about
- 3:51problematic and Lea and this is the type
- 3:55of Lea that will cause impairments to
- 3:57health and performance
- 4:00these impairments have been collectively
- 4:03defined as relative energy deficiencies
- 4:05board Reds
- 4:07this concept was first introduced nine
- 4:11years ago in 2014 and this definition
- 4:14here is an updated definition from the
- 4:172023 consensus statement
- 4:19so here we Define Reds as a syndrome of
- 4:23inter-physiological or psychological
- 4:25functioning experienced by both female
- 4:28and male athletes that caused by
- 4:30exposure to problematic Lea and there
- 4:34are lots of different detrimental
- 4:36outcomes as a result of Reds some of
- 4:39them include indeed poor broad Health
- 4:41outcomes but lots of the other outcomes
- 4:43precede poor boy Health outcomes and are
- 4:46important to consider
- 4:49so female athletes in general regardless
- 4:51of energy available Studies have a high
- 4:54risk of bone stress injuries it's been
- 4:57estimated that up to 20 percent of
- 4:59female athletes every year suffer a bond
- 5:02stress injury and this risk is further
- 5:06increased by the presence of Lea so two
- 5:09to four times higher risk of
- 5:11bone stress entries has been reported in
- 5:14famous with Lea
- 5:16one of the outcomes of Lea prolonged Lea
- 5:19is a decreased bone mineral density and
- 5:23this in turn has been linked to up to
- 5:26three times higher prevalence of high
- 5:29risk bone stress injuries so trabecular
- 5:33rich bone
- 5:35type
- 5:37and while boisterous injuries are a new
- 5:39an important consideration for the
- 5:41athlete is that they often take a
- 5:43prolonged time to to recolores or one to
- 5:47up to six months of absence from primary
- 5:50sport
- 5:52and while energy availability is the
- 5:55domain Focus here there are other
- 5:58nutritional considerations that need to
- 6:00be considered for the female athlete
- 6:03recently a handful of Studies have
- 6:06linked low carbohydrate availability to
- 6:08impaired endocrine and Bone outcomes
- 6:11independent of energy availability
- 6:12status
- 6:14in terms of proteins there might be a
- 6:16small potentially positive effect
- 6:19um on bone by anabolic anabolic Pathways
- 6:23and calcium homeostasis however it's
- 6:25important to highlight that this
- 6:27potentially beneficial effect is only
- 6:30present in the context of optimal energy
- 6:34availability so higher protein intake
- 6:36cannot
- 6:38rescue the detrimental outcomes caused
- 6:42by poorer or low initial probability
- 6:45obviously vitamin D and calcium are
- 6:48important considerations and work
- 6:49together to support bone health and
- 6:53especially from vitamin D female
- 6:55athletes who train indoors most of the
- 7:00year are an increased risk of low
- 7:02vitamin D and thus this poor bone health
- 7:05outcomes
- 7:07so some opportunities here to to utilize
- 7:11these nutrients to support bone health
- 7:13and female athletes these are very
- 7:16general
- 7:17recommendations every female athlete
- 7:19will need to consult a dietitian to
- 7:22determine what their carbohydrate
- 7:24requirements are that's determined by
- 7:26training and competition requirements
- 7:29daily
- 7:30the same goes with protein as well as
- 7:33vitamin D and calcium but some general
- 7:35numbers have been given here
- 7:40and then moving on to prevention of poor
- 7:43Ben poor bone health outcomes and some
- 7:45of these nutritional
- 7:48um considerations that we'll be
- 7:50discussing
- 7:51um are included in the the first step of
- 7:54the primary prevention here so I'll be
- 7:57going through primary secondary and
- 7:59tertiary prevention briefly
- 8:02so with primary prevention we want to
- 8:04minimize the exposure to Lea or poor
- 8:07dietary
- 8:09habits that might increase the risk of
- 8:12large availability or bone health
- 8:15impairments so this highlights the
- 8:17importance of educational athletes and
- 8:20people around them we also need to make
- 8:23sure that the knowledge is actually
- 8:25translated into behavioral knowledge in
- 8:27itself doesn't do anything if Behavior
- 8:29doesn't follow the behavior
- 8:32requires the appropriate skills and
- 8:35capacity to to act
- 8:38and this can be done in in a number of
- 8:40different ways depending on what
- 8:42resources are available
- 8:45secondary prevention highlights frequent
- 8:49screening of athletes highlight to to
- 8:53discover a really signs and symptoms of
- 8:56Lea or Reds or poor dietary behaviors so
- 9:00here we look at symptoms and signs
- 9:02symptoms are something that we can see
- 9:04without measurements
- 9:06um and signs are something that we can
- 9:08only see
- 9:10by measuring a physiological
- 9:13outcome
- 9:15so lots of these signs and symptoms are
- 9:17things that we are able to detect early
- 9:19on when Lea hasn't been going on for too
- 9:25long for bone specific outcomes bone
- 9:29stress injuries and decreased bmd these
- 9:32are something that usually develop over
- 9:34months or years of
- 9:36um Lea so it's important to look at the
- 9:39the other list of symptoms and signs
- 9:42here and focus on those for early
- 9:44screening and detection and the
- 9:47intervention to improve these outcomes
- 9:49before the app that develops the bone
- 9:51specific impairments
- 9:54and finally unfortunately some athletes
- 9:57do develop poor bone density or bone
- 9:59stress injury so we need to know how to
- 10:01trade these athletes appropriately in
- 10:04general we need to first and foremost
- 10:06restore optimal energy availability
- 10:09but then if the female athlete doesn't
- 10:12improve their signs and symptoms of rats
- 10:14if amenorrhea or lack of menstrual
- 10:18function persists and no bond density
- 10:21improvements are seen we can consider
- 10:23pharmacological options but this is
- 10:26something that always needs to be
- 10:27discussed with
- 10:28um in consultation with a medical
- 10:30professional
- 10:33so to summarize uh there are lots of
- 10:38different options for the athlete and
- 10:40the support team moving from primary to
- 10:43secondary to tertiary prevention in in
- 10:46support of optimal bone health so for
- 10:50primary prevention for athletes the main
- 10:52thing is to to maintain optimal data
- 10:54habits for the support team
- 10:57this requires support So education
- 11:01of athletes support to for the athletes
- 11:05to access the food sources and so on
- 11:09for the secondary prevention we need to
- 11:11implement screening of athletes for
- 11:14early signs and symptoms of Reds
- 11:17um using different tools ioc reads Cat 2
- 11:20um Detroit
- 11:21tool at least keyed and so on and
- 11:24potentially other physiological testing
- 11:27mirror maybe warranted and then for
- 11:30tertiary prevention for the athlete they
- 11:33need to be trusting the the
- 11:35professionals and follow the treatment
- 11:36plans
- 11:38um and be confident that increasing
- 11:41energy availability is the the first
- 11:44goal and the best treatment to restore
- 11:46health and performance
- 11:49um
- 11:50outcomes
- 11:52and I would like to thank you so much
