Awareness of RED-S in Athletes at Fairfield University
Get PDFPrevious research has shown an increase in the prevalence of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) among athletes, as well as a lack of awareness in both athletes and support staff. Athletes\u27 lack of awareness increases their risk of developing the condition, which may result in long-term negative health consequences. The purpose of this study was to assess the awareness of RED-S among athletes at Fairfield University. Individuals who were over the age of 18 and were varsity or club athletes at Fairfield University during the 2024-2025 academic year were eligible to participate in this study. Knowledge of RED-S signs and symptoms was assessed through a previously validated questionnaire. Bivariate analyses were used to compare the knowledge score among the male and female student-athletes, as well as competition level (varsity or club). There was no statistically significant difference in knowledge score between competition level or gender. However, the mean knowledge score for varsity (11.3; 62.8%) and female (11.1; 61.7%) athletes was higher than the mean for club (8.16; 45.3%) and male (7.6; 42.2%) athletes. Nearly all student-athletes (92.3%) were unaware of any RED-S resources available to them at the university. Given the overall knowledge score of 10.2 (56.7%) and nearly all the student-athletes being unaware of the terms RED-S, low energy availability, and the female athlete triad, the findings of this study suggest that athletes at Fairfield University have an inadequate level of knowledge and awareness of RED-S and its implications. This study highlights the need for various RED-S specific educational resources and tailored interventions to promote awareness of the topic
