Brief Summary

The investigators hope that through this study will know the prevalence of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports (RED-S) and its impact on sports injuries, performance and illness among college athletes in Taiwan. And also to find an appropriate diagnosis and intervention model to take care of athletes' health and improve sports performance Taiwan's athletes in the future.

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports; Anorexia; menstrual disorder; sport injury

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Evaluate the phenomenon of low Energy Availability (low EA) among college athletes in Taiwan.

  Stage I in this study will recruit college athletes (n=100) to evaluation the subjects' energy availability (EA), calculated as energy intake (EI) minus exercise energy expenditure (EEE), normalized to fat free mass (FFM) per day (unit: kcal/kg·FFM/day). Participants' Energy Availability (EA) value lower than 30 kcal/kg·FFM/day as the status with low Energy Availability (low EA).

  0-6 months

• Stratification the risk category of RED-S of the college athletes by using the Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport Clinical Assessment Tool (RED-S CAT).

  Stage II in this study will recruit the low Energy Availability (low EA) college athletes in Stage I (n=60), evaluate their risk category of RED-S by using Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport Clinical Assessment Tool (RED-S CAT).

  7-18 months

• Evaluate the improvement of energy availability (EA) after intervention with nutrition education.

  Stage III in this study will recruit the low Energy Availability (low EA) college athletes in Stage II (n=40) with high or moderate risk. Evaluate the improvement of energy availability (EA) after intervention with nutrition education. Energy availability (EA), calculated as energy intake (EI) minus exercise energy expenditure (EEE), normalized to fat free mass (FFM) per day (unit: kcal/kg·FFM/day).

  19-21 months
