Abstract

The term RED-S first described by the International Olympic committee in the year 2014 [1] is the ‘Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports’ occurring as the consequences of altered physiological functioning causing abnormal metabolic rates, bone health changes, altered immunity and protein synthesis along with a compromised cardiovascular health and psychological health issues [2]. The condition of RED-S is believed to occur as a result of insufficient caloric intake and/or excessive energy expenditure.
