Risk of low energy availability, eating disorders and food insecurity amongst development female rugby league players

CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest LEA risk is similar to other populations and those at risk of LEA are more likely to have an elevated clinical risk of eating disorders. Food security is also an issue in this population and could contribute to LEA risk for some. Future research is needed amongst team sports athletes to understand interplay between eating disorder risk and food insecurity with LEA risk.PMID:38470016 | DOI:10.23736/S0022-4707.24.15600-9
