Abstract des Autors

This article discusses the most important aspects of the female athlete. Beginning with the female athlete triad, all three components - disordered eating, athletic amenorrhea, and osteoporosis - are discussed in terms of their definition, importance, diagnosis, and treatment. The article also reviews exercise and pregnancy, including the physiologic changes that occur during pregnancy, the 1994 ACOG guidelines, and exercise in the postpartum and breast-feeding woman. Finally, the more common musculoskeletal concerns facing the female athlete are presented. Verf.-Referat
