Red-S Syndrome

Red-S Syndrome, or Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, occurs when an athlete does not consume enough calories to meet their energy needs for training and daily activities. This can lead to various health issues, including weight loss, hormonal imbalances, decreased bone density, and impaired physical performance. It affects both physical and mental well-being. Athletes might experience fatigue, irregular periods, and increased risk of injuries. To prevent Red-S, it is essential for athletes to maintain a balanced diet that supports their training demands and overall health. Recognizing the symptoms early can help manage and recover from this condition effectively.
