      abstract = {In 1971 only 3% of high school women in the United States  participated in organized athletics. 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.},
