N2  - In 1971 only 3% of high school women in the United States participated in organized athletics.1 Since the passage of the landmark legislation Title IX in 1972 which acted to prohibit sex discrimination in federally funded programs, the rate of organized female sports participation in high schools has witnessed a growth of over 900%, and intercollegiate sports by 450%. The widespread benefits of of sport participation for women are well researched and include improvements in self-esteem, academic performance, and mental health, with subsequently lowered risk of high-risk behaviors and obesity. However, with this growth in sport involvement a set of documented health problems unique primarily to the female athlete, have emerged. As first described by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) in 1992, the Female Athlete Triad or Relative Energy Deficiency refers to the interrelationship among energy availability, menstrual function, and bone mineral density. Unfortunately awareness for the triad and its components remain low among medical providers, coaches, and teens. For athletes impacted by the triad, appropriate intervention, especially during the adolescent years, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis with aging.
