“…Some studies have emphasized that modalities characterized by lightness of movement, flexibility, art of balance and mastery of the body (artistic and rhythmic gymnastics and figure skating), sports that advocate low percentage of body fat for optimal performance (long-distance running, swimming..) and sports with classifications by weight (rowing, martial arts..) present a higher incidence of food restriction by their practitioners (Blauet et al, 2017;Oliveira et al, 2017b;Perini et al, 2009a). Relative levels of body fat tend to be lower among athletes who participate in individual sports than in team sports, and lower still in sports requiring movement or lifting of one's own body mass (Gonçalves et al, 2017;KOuidou et al, 2016).…”

“…Studies affirm (Estima et al, 2014;Carvalho et al, 2017) that the multifactorial model is the most accepted etiological model for explaining the genesis of eating disorders. This model is based on the hypothesis that there is a contribution of biological, genetic, psychological, sociocultural and familial factors to the development and maintenance of ED (Kouidou et al, 2016). Although there is interaction among these factors, some authors have highlighted sociocultural factors as the greatest influence on the etiogenesis of this syndrome (Estima et al, 2014, Kouidou et al, 2016, De Bruin, 2017.…”

Many studies associate physical exercise with an improvement in quality of life influenced by the development of health status, however, it is almost a consensus that sport has an opposite effect marked by an increase in the number of injuries and a general decrease in the health of the high athlete level. In female athletes, however, a syndrome caused by low energy consumption coupled with many hours of intense training per week can lead to a condition called the Athlete Women's Triad. This condition seems to be related to the sports modality, reaching a prevalence of 16% of the three symptoms that characterize it up to 60% of at least 1 of the three symptoms in some high-performance sports modalities. The pathogenesis of this disease contributes to a decrease in athletic performance, the appearance of amenorrhea which can cause a decrease in bone mineral density and lead to important disorders in the cardiovascular, endocrine and immune systems, for example. Thus, knowing the symptoms of this disease can lead to the promotion of countermeasures that allow the maintenance of the performance and health of the female athlete. To do this, a careful review of the literature (n = 966) was performed observing the most prevalent variables with the objective of discussing different points related to this syndrome, promoting an update on the effects on performance, health and measures for avoid its development in female athlete.
