Abstract:
In the past decade, the study of relationships among nutrition, exercise and the effects on health and athletic performance, has substantially increased. The 2014 introduction of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) prompted sports scientists and clinicians to investigate these relationships in more populations and with more outcomes than had been previously pursued in mostly white, adolescent or young adult, female athletes. Much of the existing physiology and concepts, however, are either based on or extrapolated from limited studies, and the comparison of studies is hindered by the lack of standardised protocols. In this review, we have evaluated and outlined current best practice methodologies to study REDs in an attempt to guide future research.This includes an agreement on the definition of key terms, a summary of study designs with appropriate applications, descriptions of best practices for blood collection and assessment and a description of methods used to assess specific REDs sequelae, stratified as either Preferred, Used and Recommended or Potential Researchers can use the compiled information herein when planning studies to more consistently select the proper tools to investigate their domain of interest. Thus, the goal of this review is to standardise REDs research methods to strengthen future studies and improve REDs prevention, diagnosis and care.
摘要:
在过去的十年里,研究营养之间的关系,运动以及对健康和运动表现的影响,大幅增加。2014年引入的运动中相对能量不足(REDs)促使体育科学家和临床医生在更多的人群中研究这些关系,并且比以前在大多数白人中所追求的结果更多。青少年或年轻的成年人,女运动员。许多现有的生理学和概念,然而,要么基于有限的研究,要么从有限的研究中推断出来,缺乏标准化的协议阻碍了研究的比较。在这次审查中,我们评估并概述了当前研究REDs的最佳实践方法,以期指导未来的研究.这包括就关键术语的定义达成协议,具有适当应用的研究设计摘要,描述采血和评估的最佳做法,以及用于评估特定REDs后遗症的方法。分层为首选,使用和推荐或潜在的研究人员可以在规划研究时使用本文的编译信息,以更一致地选择适当的工具来调查他们感兴趣的领域。因此,这篇综述的目的是规范REDs的研究方法,以加强未来的研究并改善REDs的预防,诊断和护理。
