Relationship Between Training Intensity and Volume and Hypothyroidism Among Female Runners

Conclusions: Our results do not support the concept of overtraining-related hypothyroidism among nonelite female distance runners although our data demonstrated a 3-fold increase in hypothyroidism among those who began a career at or before age 10. Further study is required to confirm and determine a possible mechanism of this association.
