  • The study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-reported indicators of low energy availability (LEA-I) and race performance as well as medical incidents during the Boston Marathon.
  • A survey of 1,030 runners revealed a higher prevalence of LEA-I in females (42.5%) compared to males (17.6%), with athletes experiencing LEA-I performing worse in terms of race times and placement.
  • The findings indicated that runners with LEA-I had significantly increased risks of medical encounters during the race, underscoring the negative impacts of low energy availability on marathon performance and health.

This age coincides with the shift in expansive IVD growth from cell proliferation to matrix elaboration, implicating collagen crosslinking.
