A low energy availability (LEA) can result in a condition called Relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S).
RED-S occurs as a result of a mismatch between energy intake and energy requirements for bodily functions.
When an energy deficit is sustained long term this is when the problem occurs.
Recovery nutrition is a vital part of your athletic performance. In the lead up to competition, training load increases and consequently body stress. If not recovering adequately you cannot adapt to the subsequent benefits of your training and are at an increased risk of illness and injury during and following competition.
Take the guesswork out of what you should be eating.
