Description

IOC RED S CAT2: Understanding Risk, Under Fueling, and Eating Disorders in Sport is a 1.5-hour presentation that equips providers, athletic department staff, coaches, and athletes with a clear, evidence based understanding of how Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED S) affects physical health, psychological well being, and overall performance. The session outlines a standardized approach to identifying and assessing risk, emphasizing consistent screening, early recognition, and coordinated intervention. By integrating physiology, psychology, and sport specific context, the presentation illustrates how under fueling and disordered eating patterns disrupt multiple body systems and create wide ranging impairments. It concludes by highlighting the importance of supportive training environments that prioritize adequate energy availability, athlete safety, and long term performance sustainability.

Participants will be able to:

  • Identify at least 3 key risk factors and early warning signs of RED-S, including both physical and psychological indicators.

  • Describe at least 3 impacts of under-fueling on metabolic, hormonal, or psychological functioning, and its effects on training capacity and injury risk.

  • Identify at least 1 difference between REDs, disordered eating, and eating disorders, and determine appropriate responses.
