- 🆕 Systematic review out now in @plosone.org "Nutrition educational interventions for athletes related to low energy availability: A systematic review" 🧪 Read the open-access article: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...
- 💡 Most studies included in this review used in-person educational sessions that included information on fueling/caloric intake, tailored to athlete-specific audiences. Intervention approaches and outcomes were heterogeneous, supporting the need for future research for education programming for LEA.
- 🧪This study was a springboard effort from our recent research on LEA prevalence among Boston Marathon athletes in BJSM: bjsm.bmj.com/content/59/4...

- In this study, we established comparable absolute and perfect relative inter-rater agreement for sonographic and radiographic calcaneal ossification staging for young patients with Sever’s Disease, suggesting sonography is a reasonable to safely assess patient development
