AB [EN] Introduction: The female athlete triad (FAT) is aserious health-related problem that threatens womenwho exercise. This condition is an interrelated multifactorialsyndrome which includes low energy availability,menstrual cycle disturbances and decreased bonemineral density.Objective: To review the major components of the FATand their relationships, as well as strategies for diagnosisand treatment.Methods: Articles related to the topic were reviewedthrough PubMed and SportDiscus databases.Results: Interrelationship between components of theFAT may result in clinical manifestations, includingeating disorders, amenorrhea and osteoporosis. Clinicalconditions are not always exhibited simultaneously.Prevention is important to minimize complications. Diagnosisand treatment is complicated and often mustinvolve an interdisciplinary therapeutic approach.Conclusions: Understanding of the disease may befacilitated by a unified framework focusing on energydeficiency. Preventive or early interventions require toincrease energy availability through a higher total energyintake or a decrease in energy expenditure trough excessivephysical exercise. A healthy lifestyle, and support byparents and coaches should be included. Psychotherapymay be necessary when eating disorders are present.
