Summary: This study evaluated pathways to low energy availability in a sample of 464 female adolescent athletes. Results showed that 6.5% of the athletes exhibited clinical indicators of low energy availability, with 80% of them not meeting criteria for disordered eating. This highlights the significance of inadvertent pathway to low energy availability in this population.

Summary: This study established age-related performance trajectories in Para powerlifters, showing that men and women reach their heaviest weights in competition at 36 and 41 years old, respectively. It also found that high-performing athletes achieve their best performances at a younger age compared to their lower-performing peers. The results suggest that para powerlifters should reach their peak performance in their early to mid-30s before age-related changes impact muscular strength. This information can be valuable for coaches and athletes in evaluating their strategies for success in para powerlifting.

Summary: The Female Athlete Triad and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport are disorders caused by low energy availability. Research shows that there is a lack of awareness among coaches regarding these disorders, highlighting the need for education.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to examine individual and combined Female Athlete Triad components within collegiate cheerleaders, an at-risk group. The findings revealed that all cheerleaders displayed low energy availability, with 52.6% experiencing disordered eating risk and 47.4% without disordered eating risk. This study supports the need for increased education on the individual components of the Triad and their potential consequences.

Summary: This study aimed to assess low energy availability and its consequences among female triathletes using the LEAF-Q questionnaire. The results showed that 23.3% of the female triathletes had menstrual cycle disorders. However, there was no direct relationship between body weight/composition and menstrual disturbances during training. Nevertheless, 20% of the athletes had a potential risk of low energy availability. Based on the LEAF-Q scores, 10% of the athletes were at risk of low energy availability.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between passive drag and swimming performance in Para swimmers with physical impairments, revealing a negative correlation in the participant cohort. The type of physical impairment was found to impact the relationship between passive drag and swimming performance, suggesting the need to consider it in the Para swimming classification process.

Summary: This study investigates the associations between menstrual function, eating disorders, and risk of low energy availability with musculoskeletal injuries in British servicewomen. The results show that women at high risk of disordered eating and low energy availability are more likely to have bone stress injuries and musculoskeletal injuries.

Summary: The study found a high prevalence of elite European cross-country athletes at risk of low energy availability (LEA), with females being at higher risk than males. More than half of the athletes reported infrequent bowel movements, and a significant proportion of female athletes reported abnormal menstruation. Therefore, cross-country athletes are at high risk and require follow-up and treatment by multidisciplinary teams.

Summary: This study investigated the applicability of the LEAF-Q in a cohort of sixty professional female football players and found that the LEAF-Q is not effective in detecting LEA and Triad conditions among female football players.

Summary: This article reviews the importance of phosphorus in plant growth and the adaptive mechanisms plants have developed to cope with phosphorus limitation. Research has identified several signaling molecules involved in the regulation of the phosphorus starvation rescue system, and complex interactions between phosphorus and other nutrients have been discovered. Improving phosphorus use efficiency can enhance plant uptake and utilization of phosphorus.

Summary: The study showed that under low energy availability, reductions in body weight and fat mass can occur without disturbances to physiological systems associated with the Male Athlete Triad and RED-S. However, consequences of the Male Athlete Triad and RED-S become evident when energy availability falls below a certain threshold.

Summary: This study reveals a nonlinear decrease in the temperature sensitivity of soil organic matter decomposition with increasing soil age. The availability of organic matter is found to be regulated by soil age, which in turn influences the temperature sensitivity.

Summary: This study investigated the association between menstrual dysfunction during their active sports careers and post-retirement infertility in female athletes. The results showed that athletes with abnormal menstrual cycles had a significantly higher rate of infertility treatment after retirement compared to athletes with normal menstrual cycles. This suggests that menstrual dysfunction may be a factor in infertility when trying to conceive after retirement.

Summary: The LEAF-Q questionnaire can be used as a screening tool to rule out the risk of conditions related to low energy availability (LEA) or to create low-risk groups, but it cannot be used for diagnosing LEA.

Summary: The study compared the reliability of the Wassel-Flatt, Rotterdam, and Chung classifications for thumb polydactyly, revealing that the Wassel-Flatt and Rotterdam classifications have excellent inter- and intrarater reliability for radial polydactyly, while the Chung classification is less reliable.
