The female athlete triad [20, 21, 36] is extensively described in adults with recommendations for adolescent female athletes [37] Evidence is pointing to similar variables and physical demands affecting pre-pubertal athletes, at an earlier stage of development and maturation, and the short- and long-term effects require further empirical investigationBack to article page
