29. Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) cycling performance and health
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) is a syndrome of deleterious health and performance outcomes experienced by male and female athletes exposed to low energy availability - which is - inadequate energy intake in relation to exercise energy expenditure leading to REDs.
It’s very common in cyclists and in this episode I explain what REDs and low energy availability is, how it affects your cycling performance and health and how you can avoid it.
