Abstract

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a less known area in sports medicine that combines a multidisciplinary approach in treating athletes. It involves nutrition, behavioral health, medicine, and physical training, to name a few. Over the years, knowledge on what was first understood as, “The Female Athlete Triad”, has increased to encompass different aspects of one’s health. It has also become a term that not only affected female athletes but also males. With the ever-increasing utilization of social media and the perceived importance of public image perception among one’s peers, many young and even adult athletes have higher risks of developing RED-S. Medical providers (physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists, nutritionists, etc.) and coaches are often first line in identifying this condition and refer to treatment, yet little is known about their opinions and knowledge surrounding RED-S.
