Tag: Athlete fatigue

Recent studies show that nearly 50% of female athletes and 32% of elite male athletes may experience low energy availability, a key contributor to a lack of energy in sports. This widespread issue goes beyond simple tiredness, affecting an athlete's health and competitive edge.

Studies suggest that a significant percentage of athletes, particularly female and endurance athletes, experience iron deficiency and true anemia. This condition, often termed "sports anemia," presents a range of symptoms that can affect performance and overall health. Athletes should be aware of these signs to distinguish between normal fatigue and a more serious issue.
