Decreased energy availability during training overload is associated with non-functional overreaching and suppressed ovarian function in female runners.
Low energy availability (EA) suppresses many physiological processes, including ovarian function in female athletes. Low EA could also predispose athletes to develop a state of overreaching. This study compared the changes in ad libitum energy intake (EI), exercise energy expenditure (ExEE), and EA among runners completing a training overload (TO) phase. We tested the hypothesis that runners becoming overreached would show decreased EA, suppressed ovarian function and plasma leptin, compared with well-adapted (WA) runners. After 1 menstrual cycle (baseline), 16 eumenorrheic runners performed 4 weeks of TO followed by a 2-week recovery (131 ± 3% and 63 ± 6% of baseline running volume, respectively). Seven-day ExEE, EI, running performance (RUN Topics: Adult; Dysmenorrhea; Energy Intake; Energy Metabolism; Estradiol; Exercise; Fatigue; Female; Humans; Leptin; Menstrual Cycle; Ovary; Physical Endurance; Running; Workload; Young Adult | 2021 |
