Abstract:Low energy availability (LEA) is a health concern for athletes, although it may paradoxically lead to improved cardiometabolic health in the general population. We investigated the associations between LEA, body composition, and serum cardiometabolic profile in 23 physique athletes (DIET) and 21 controls (CONT) during a 5‐month pre‐competition diet (MID), followed by 1 week of increased energy availability (COMP) and a 5‐month weight regain period (POST). Quantification of 250 serum metabolome variables was co… Show more
