NEW RESEARCH SHOWS THAT MEN CAN SUFFER THE DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES OF A MALE VERSION OF THE FEMALE ATHLETE TRIAD
IN RECENT weeks, we have focused heavily in these pages on issues surrounding the Female Athlete Triad, or Relative Energy
Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). This complex interplay of menstrual dysfunction, low energy availability (with or without an eating disorder), and decreased bone mineral density is alarmingly common within sport. Energy deficiency – a result of imbalances between the amount of energy consumed and the amount of energy expended during training – is the main underlying cause of the syndrome. But is there a male equivalent of the Triad?
Drawing parallels
This question was the focus of a paper published last year in the journal Sports Medicine in which Dr Adam Tenforde, assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School and Sports Medicine Physician at the Spaulding National Running Centre, and his colleagues proposed that a similar condition affects male athletes. Their early research suggests “that a subset of male athletes may experience adverse health issues that parallel those associated with the Triad” Tenforde said, experiencing changing levels of hormones, coupled with undereating and resulting injuries. While not yet formally recognised as a medical syndrome, the Male Athlete Triad is to be a subject discussed by an expert panel at the American College of Sports Medicine annual conference in 2018. “It’s likely the term ‘male athlete triad’ will be used,” says Dr Mary Jane De Souza, a professor of kinesiology and physiology at the Pennsylvania State University in University Park and a leading researcher on the subject who will be on the ACSM panel.

Carbon Footprint
You'd have had to have been running on a different planet to miss all the recent debate about carbon-plated shoes. The talk of bans and performance enhancement has been so widespread that even non-runners are asking their running friends about the potentially magical footwear.
Trail time
WHEN looking for a trail or off-road running shoe, itâs often all about the grip. However, given that no two paths are the same, careful consideration is required. Whatâs the terrain like where youâll wear the shoes the most? If youâll be negotiating soft, wet and muddy conditions then look for deeper lugs. For tackling gravel tracks and forest trails then more evenly spaced lugs will work better. When it comes to cushioning, consider how hard the ground will be; if itâs soft then youâll be fine in low-profile shoes, but on those firmer tracks reasonable cushioning will be called for.
Stay neutral
EVOLVING every year, if not month, neutral cushioned shoes are seeing developments in cushioning materials and dynamics at a pace which is nothing short of astonishing. The latest models feature new polymers in the midsoles to give them a cushioned feel while at the same time keeping their weight to a minimum. Give them a spin and choose the most comfortable for mile after mile of shock absorbing running.
Support network
WHEN it comes to âover-pronationâ, a common question is âhow much is over?â. With no hard and fast rules, itâs best to choose a shoe that instinctively feels right. Gait analysis can often assist in helping you make this choice and your specialist running store is always a good place to start if in doubt. To help you make that choice, hereâs a selection of some of the best âsupportâ shoes around.
Need for speed
THE racing shoe segment of the market is becoming somewhat split. This is partially due to the rise of carbon-plated footwear but also the fact that many shoes are becoming much lighter. Here we take a look at some of the leading contenders to toe the line in.
Gadget show
WITH technological products to enhance every area of life, running is now no different. From headphones to treadmills, the devices to aid performance and recovery are endless. Here we take a look at some of the latest gadgets and gizmos to enhance your training.
