RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) is a condition affecting athletes in which energy intake is insufficient relative to the energy required for training and daily living, leading to impairments in multiple bodily functions and reduced performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It replaces the older concept of the \u201cfemale athlete triad\u201d because the effects extend much more broadly and also affect men, causing, among other things, impaired bone health, metabolism, hormonal function, immunity, and mental health. (Source: AI)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What symptoms are associated with it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Physical symptoms include persistent fatigue, decreased performance, recurrent colds, muscle soreness, and slower recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mental symptoms may include irritability, low mood, and difficulties with concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How is RED-S treated?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Energy intake is increased, training load is reduced at least temporarily, and greater emphasis is placed on recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am currently coaching a 55-year-old sporty man who has accumulated 10 extra kilos over several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He has set a goal to lose the excess weight by June 2026 by fine-tuning his diet and gradually increasing physical activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Slow weight loss helps ensure that weight management is sustainable, as the metabolism has time to adapt to the new body weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I often say to my clients: \u201cYou can\u2019t train like a horse and eat like a bird.\u201d<\/em> “RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport)<\/strong> on urheilijoihin vaikuttava tila, jossa <\/mark>energiansaanti on riitt\u00e4m\u00e4t\u00f6nt\u00e4 suhteessa harjoittelun ja el\u00e4misen vaatimaan energiankulutukseen, mik\u00e4 heikent\u00e4\u00e4 monia kehon toimintoja ja suorituskyky\u00e4<\/mark>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Se korvaa vanhemman “naisurheilijan triadin” k\u00e4sitteen, koska vaikutukset ulottuvat paljon laajemmalle ja koskevat my\u00f6s miehi\u00e4, aiheuttaen mm. heikentynytt\u00e4 luuston, aineenvaihdunnan, hormonitoiminnan, immuniteetin ja psyykkisen terveyden toimintaa”.
