Symposium Session: The Female (and Male) Athlete Triad: Updates Nutrition Implications, and Screening Tools to Prevent Low BMD

Join Kim Schwabenbauer as she discusses the spectra of nutrition implications and health issues associated with the female and male athlete triad. Kim will address updated evidence-based parallels in males that aid dietitians in developing the knowledge and skills necessary for prompt identification and treatment. Kim will highlight evidence-based research from the 2014 Female Athlete Triad Coalition Consensus Statement on Treatment and Return to Play, and the newly released 2021 Male Athlete Triad (Part I and II), which aims to provide clinical guidelines for dietitians, physicians, athletic trainers, and other health care providers on the screening tools, diagnosis, and treatment of the Triad. Finally, Kim will present original research on the knowledge, confidence, and screening practices of athletic trainers, with an eye on how an electronic training module may allow for better outcomes for athletes of all types in the future.   

This is not a webinar or course for purchase - this is a module for credit claiming for our 2023 Spring Symposium attendees and cannot be purchased or taken by non-attendees. These sessions are exclusive to our Symposium; however, the topics may be revisited in the future in the form of a webinar or self-study course.
