“…There is limited evidence for the efficacy of self-reported questionnaires, and additional individual evaluation is recommended 1 85. The RED-S Clinical Assessment Tool (RED-S CAT) can assist clinicians in screening for RED-S and the management of return to play decisions,178 although validation is needed.…”

“…Weight gain has been demonstrated to be the best predictor of resumption of physiological menstrual function . A logical treatment approach is therefore to increase energy intake by between 300 and 600 kcal/day, as recommended by the International Olympic Committee, with a target BMI above 18.5 kg/m 2 . Specialist psychological and dietetic input should additionally be sought in the diagnosis and treatment of formal eating disorders.…”

While the physiological, psychosocial and obstetric health benefits of exercise are well established, there is less awareness of the health implications of long-term intense exercise. Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) represents a complex inter-relationship of health consequences that arise as a result of low energy availability. The common presentations of elite sportswomen to gynaecologists include menstrual abnormalities, delayed menarche, subfertility and urinary incontinence. Gynaecology input, including screening, recognition and management, can minimise the risk of consequences and optimise health, fertility and performance. Learning objectivesTo understand the short-term and long-term impacts of elite sport on gynaecological health.To describe the gynaecologist's role in the screening, investigation and management of elite sportswomen. Ethical issuesElite sportswomen should be fully informed about the potential health implications of long-term vigorous exercise to enable autonomous decision making. While it is the role of the coach to optimise performance, it is the physician's responsibility to prioritise the health of sportswomen, even if this is at the expense of performance level, ability to train or competition rules. To reach an elite level, training is often necessary from childhood; however, many girls will not have capacity, and the health consequences of RED-S can cause them irreversible problems.

“…The IOC has developed a tool to assist medical professionals in the evaluation and management of at-risk athletes: the RED-S Clinical Assessment Tool 4. This model uses information collected from the history and physical examination and provides a guide to activity recommendations.…”

“…Athletes are classified as being in the ‘Red’, ‘Yellow’ or ‘Green’ zone, correlating with high, moderate and low risk states. The Red group is held from all activity, the Yellow group requires a more individualised plan involving close supervision, and the Green group is permitted full sport participation 4. This model requires more research to validate the approach.…”
