Screening for the Female Athlete Triad: Risk Stratification and Bone Stress Injuries (ptpodcast.com)

• Female Athlete Triad includes low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and low BMD.
• Tenforde et al. (2017) showed risk stratification predicts bone stress injuries in collegiate athletes.
• Rauh et al. (2014) found associations in high school runners; males may also be affected.

"This podcast episode discusses the Female Athlete Triad, its prevalence, and screening strategies. Guest Mitch Rauh presents research linking Triad risk assessment to bone stress injuries in collegiate athletes (Tenforde et al., 2017) and associations in high school runners (Rauh et al., 2014). Clinicians learn to identify at-risk athletes through energy availability, menstrual function, and bone density assessments."
