THE FEMALE ATHLETE TRIAD KARTONIERT (TB)

This is the first book of its kind to focus solely on the female athlete triad - its origins 
its recognition  and most importantly  its management. Since the symptoms themselves cover a
range of medical specialties  chapters are written by experts in a number of relevant fields -
sports medicine  orthopedics  endocrinology  and pediatrics - with an eye toward overall care
of the young female athlete. Additionally  each chapter includes suggestions on how to educate
and communicate with young athletes and their parents  as well as trainers and coaches  on how
to manage the illness outside of the direct clinical setting. The female athlete triad is often
seen in sports where low body weight is emphasized  such as gymnastics  figure skating  and
running  though it can appear in any sport or activity. The interrelated symptoms - eating
disorders  amenorrhea  and low bone mass - exist on a spectrum of severity and are serious and
potentially life-threatening if not properly treated. Psychological problems  in addition to
medical ones  are not uncommon. The Female Athlete Triad: A Clinical Guide discusses all of
these areas for a well-rounded and in-depth approach to the phenomenon and will be a useful
reference for any clinician working with female athletes across the lifespan.
