Physiological Consequences of Low Energy Availability – The Underlying Aetiology of RED-S
What truly happens in the body when athletes don’t meet their energy needs — and how does this contribute to Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) and injury risk? ⚡🏃♀️🍽️
Join us at for a deep dive into the physiology behind low energy availability (LEA) and its impact on health, performance, and musculoskeletal injury.
💡 What you will learn:
The physiological mechanisms underlying RED-S
How LEA affects hormones, metabolism, bone health, and performance
Whether LEA increases injury risk — and what the latest research shows
How to identify, monitor, and support athletes at risk
🎤 Featured Speakers:
• Prof. Anna Melin (SE) – Physiological consequences of low energy availability – the underlying aetiology of RED-S
• Jakob Agergaard, PhD (DK) – Does low energy availability increase the risk of injuries?
🔑 This symposium is essential for clinicians, coaches, physiotherapists, and anyone working with athletes in endurance, aesthetic, or weight-sensitive sports. Learn how to spot the signs early, intervene effectively, and support long-term athlete health.
