Article Synopsis
- The study investigates low energy availability (LEA) and mental health issues among female football players, noting these problems are common but under-researched, especially in India.
- In a sample of 25 professional players, they found that 24% exhibited signs of LEA, while 44% showed poor mental health, with disordered eating and sleep disturbances being frequent issues.
- The results suggest a high prevalence of LEA and mental health disorders in female athletes, emphasizing the need for early detection and intervention to improve their overall health and performance.
