We aimed to (a) report energy availability (EA), metabolic/reproductive function, bone mineral density, and injury/illness rates in national/world-class female and male distance athletes and (b) investigate the robustness of various diagnostic criteria from the Female Athlete Triad (Triad), Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire, and relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) tools to identify risks associated with low EA. Athletes were distinguished according to benchmarks of reproductive function (amenorrheic [n = 13] vs. eumenorrheic [n = 22], low [lowest quartile of reference range; n = 10] versus normal testosterone [n = 14]), and EA calculated from 7-day food and training diaries (< or >30 kcal·kg−1 fat-free mass·day−1). Sex hormones (p < .001), triiodothyronine (p < .05), and bone mineral density (females, p < .05) were significantly lower in amenorrheic (37%) and low testosterone (40%; 15.1 ± 3.0 nmol/L) athletes, and bone injuries were ∼4.5-fold more prevalent in amenorrheic (effect size = 0.85, large) and low testosterone (effect size = 0.52, moderate) groups compared with others. Categorization of females and males using Triad or RED-S tools revealed that higher risk groups had significantly lower triiodothyronine (female and male Triad and RED-S: p < .05) and higher number of all-time fractures (male Triad: p < .001; male RED-S and female Triad: p < .01) as well as nonsignificant but markedly (up to 10-fold) higher number of training days lost to bone injuries during the preceding year. Based on the cross-sectional analysis, current reproductive function (questionnaires/blood hormone concentrations) appears to provide a more objective and accurate marker of optimal energy for health than the more error-prone and time-consuming dietary and training estimation of EA. This study also offers novel findings that athlete health is associated with EA indices.

Resting Energy Expenditure, Metabolic and Sex Hormones in Two Phases of the Menstrual and Hormonal Contraceptive Cycles
Löfberg, Ida E.; Karppinen, Jari E.; Laatikainen-Raussi, Vesa; Lehti, Maarit; Hackney, Anthony C.; Ihalainen, Johanna K.; Mikkonen, Ritva S. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024)Introduction Resting energy expenditure (REE) may fluctuate during the menstrual cycle (MC), due to the physiological effects of estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4). This study examined changes in REE and metabolic ... -
Influence of Menstrual Cycle or Hormonal Contraceptive Phase on Energy Intake and Metabolic Hormones : A Pilot Study
Ihalainen, Johanna K.; Löfberg, Ida; Kotkajuuri, Anna; Kyröläinen, Heikki; Hackney, Anthony C.; Taipale-Mikkonen, Ritva S. (MDPI AG, 2021)Sex hormones are suggested to influence energy intake (EI) and metabolic hormones. This study investigated the influence of menstrual cycle (MC) and hormonal contraceptive (HC) cycle phases on EI, energy availability (EA), ... -
Beyond Menstrual Dysfunction : Does Altered Endocrine Function Caused by Problematic Low Energy Availability Impair Health and Sports Performance in Female Athletes?
Ihalainen, Johanna K.; Mikkonen, Ritva S.; Ackerman, Kathryn E.; Heikura, Ida A.; Mjøsund, Katja; Valtonen, Maarit; Hackney, Anthony C. (Springer Nature, 2024)Low energy availability, particularly when problematic (i.e., prolonged and/or severe), has numerous negative consequences for health and sports performance as characterized in relative energy deficiency in sport. These ... -
Effects of fat loss and low energy availability on the serum cardiometabolic profile of physique athletes
Jouhki, I.; Sarin, H. V.; Jauhiainen, M.; O’Connell, T. M.; Isola, V.; Ahtiainen, J. P.; Hulmi, J. J.; Perola, M. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2024)Low energy availability (LEA) is a health concern for athletes, although it may paradoxically lead to improved cardiometabolic health in the general population. We investigated the associations between LEA, body composition, ... -
