Clinical Trial Summary

Energy Deficit Syndrome (RED-S) is the impairment of physiological functioning caused by relative energy deficiency and includes impaired metabolic rate, menstrual, endocrine, hematological, immunological, gastrointestinal, bone, psychological, developmental and cardiovascular function. Eighty-seven percent of athletes show at least one symptom related to RED-S, with a higher prevalence in women. Treatment of RED-S preferably involves a multidisciplinary team of health professionals to address the complex interaction of nutrition, training, body image and performance. The main objective is to prevent energy deficit syndrome in female athletes in the province of Alicante through different training and diet protocols using a virtual platform. A 12-week single-blind randomized clinical trial with an intervention period and a control period (RCT) is proposed. The sports federations of the most representative practices in the province of Alicante will be selected by randomized sampling. The female athletes will be randomly divided into 4 groups (control group; control group with free use of the virtual platform; intervention group with Mediterranean diet and physical exercise planning; intervention group with red fruits and physical exercise planning).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Oxidative stress Measurement of oxidative stress by pentane by exhaled air 12 weeks
Primary Weight Weight evaluation using a digital scale 12 weeks
Primary Anthropometric assessment - Height Restricted profile proposed by the International Society for the Development of Cineanthropometry. 12 weeks
Primary Fat mass Through anthropometry. Restricted profile proposed by the International Society for the Development of Cineanthropometry. The Faulkner formula will be used. 12 weeks
Primary Muscular mass Through anthropometry. Restricted profile proposed by the International Society for the Development of Cineanthropometry. Lee's formula will be used. 12 weeks
Primary Bone mass Through anthropometry. Restricted profile proposed by the International Society for the Development of Cineanthropometry. The Rocha formula will be used. 12 weeks
Primary Hydratation Urine density will be measured with Refractometer. 12 weeks
Primary Menstrual cycle Using the Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) Clinical Assessment Tool (CAT) questionnaire. It is a clinical assessment tool for the evaluation of athletes / active individuals suspected of having relative energy deficiency and for guiding return to play decisions. 12 weeks
Primary Gastrointestinal symptoms The questionnaire on irritable bowel syndrome and symptom management among endurance athletes will be used; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30232638/ 12 weeks
Primary Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max.) In cycloergometer and cardiorespiratory fitness test monitored with electrocardiogram 12 weeks
Primary Blood pressure Using an OMROM upper arm blood pressure monitor. 12 weeks
Primary Cholesterol in blood Cholesterol by blood test 12 weeks
Primary Strength All participants will perform a countermovement jump, using a contact platform. Higher values will mean better performance. 12 weeks
Primary Creatin-Kinase in blood Creatin-Kinase by blood test (milligrams/deciliters). High values may be a sign of overtraining. 12 weeks
Primary Perception of quality of life Using a Quality of Life Questionnaire (SF36). Quality of Life Questionnaire is a comprehensive questionnaire that covers various attributes of an individuals life. It covers a variety of demographic questions to get better quality data and information before analyzing the quality of life of an individual.The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability. 12 weeks
Primary Mood state Profile of Mood State Questionnaire (POMS). The POMS questionnaire assesses six mood subscales: tension-anxiety, depression, anger-hostility, vigor, fatigue, and confusion. High vigor scores reflect a good mood or emotion, and low scores in the other subscales reflect a good mood or emotion. 12 weeks
Primary Eating behavior Eating Behavior Questionnaire (EAT-26). It is used to identify the presence of "eating disorder risk" based on attitudes, feelings and behaviours related to eating. There are 26 self-report questions assessing general eating behaviour and five additional questions assessing risky behaviours. The total score (between 0 and 78) provides an overall risk score, where higher scores indicating greater risk of an eating disorder. Total scores 20 or above are considered to be in the clinical range. 12 weeks
