José Arteta, PhD, is a lecturer at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Liverpool John Moores University. His primary interest is in the area of training-nutrition interactions in humans, including energy availability and low energy availability specifically, which is the main topic of today's interview.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
-What is energy availability, and how is it different from energy balance?
-What is considered low energy availability?
-Symptoms and consequences of low energy availability
-The uncertainty around measuring energy availability in the field, and difficulties with interpreting it
-Diagnosis, detection and treatment of low energy availability
-Sex differences in low energy availability
-Weight loss and low energy availability
