Register for upcoming free webinar     Human Kinetics author Irene Lewis-McCormick (A Woman's Guide to Muscle and Fitness) will present “The Female Athlete Triad” on Thursday, May 17th at 12:00 p.m. EST. Most women have concerns about the size and shape of their bodies, but those fitness enthusiasts or competitive athletes who rely on aesthetics as well as individual performance in determining athletic success may be at greater risk for a condition known as the Female Athlete Triad. Originally identified in 1992, ACSM created a position stand, and again updated it in 2007. This position statement focuses on the identification, treatment, education and support for women at increased risk for this condition. Lack of adequate energy in take, disruption in normal hormonal release, and ultimately, potential disruptions in the bone formation are characteristics of the TRIAD. This free webinar examines these health concerns and the potential impact these imbalances create for many females.
