This study is looking for NCAA Division III athletes at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) who are 18 years or older to participate. The goal is to prevent athletes from under-fueling by providing nutrition screening and support. You would receive screenings for low energy availability, strength and body composition assessments, and nutrition advice from a sports dietitian throughout your competitive season. Researchers will measure your grip strength at the beginning, middle, and end of the season to see if the nutrition support helps. This study builds on previous research at CWRU that showed nutrition support can improve athletes' health and performance.

Study design

This is an open-label pilot study with a planned enrollment of 300 athletes. All participants will receive the Low Energy Availability Screening and Nutrition Support intervention.

What's involved

You would undergo screenings, strength and body composition assessments, and receive nutrition support from a dietitian. Data will be collected at three points: pre-season, mid-season, and post-season, which is about four months after baseline.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your grip strength will be measured at baseline, mid-season (about 2 months after baseline), and at the end of the competitive season (about 4 months after baseline).
