Clinical Trial: Unravelling Energy Issues Underpinning Low Energy Availability in High Performance Athletes

U.S., June 19 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07026175) titled 'Unravelling Energy Issues Underpinning Low Energy Availability in High Performance Athletes' on May 28.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how the body responds to short-term, severe low energy availability (LEA) in healthy, weight-bearing endurance athletes aged 18-45 years old. LEA describes a mismatch between an individual's dietary energy intake and the energy cost of their commitments for training and competition. The main questions this trial aims to answer are:

1. What effect does short-term, severe LEA have on sleeping metabolic rate?

2. What effect does short-term, severe LEA have on other bod...
