The goal of any athlete should be a healthy journey with the reward having an enjoying, enlightening and fulfilling voyage. When the goal is not a healthy journey, a host of problems can arise. This workshop addresses this situation by exploring for what many female athletes are at risk - The Female Athlete Triad. The female athlete triad is a disorder that begins with a detrimental eating pattern, produces amenorrhea and leads to osteoporosis. The triad can effect both competitive and noncompetitive athletes, both female and male, and nonathletes. Athletes, their parents and instructors/coaches working with women may need sensitization training to help them understand developmental issues and male/female differences in strength, body composition and nutritional needs. This PowerPoint presentation will provide a closer look into the Triad’s components.
