🌿 Another week, another sports-related infographic 🌿 ⛹🏻♀️ We are just a few days before the Olympics 2024 inauguration ceremony and we are showcasing the last but, !definitely! not least infographic crafted by ESDN Sports and Physical Activity, this time on Low Energy Availability (LEA) & Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) risk factors and management 🏌🏻♂️ Sports dietitians are crucial in guiding athletes toward optimal nutritional patterns for peak performance. Maintaining adequate energy availability (EA), measured as kilocalories per kilogram of fat-free mass (kcal/kg FFM), is essential not only for exercise performance but also for essential physiological functions and daily activities. The line between optimal and deficient nutrition can be very narrow, especially in endurance, weight class, and aesthetic sports. Our LEA & RED-S infographic provides clear guidance on managing these delicate balances to support athlete health and performance. 🔗 Access, download and reshare the infographic: https://lnkd.in/dc7AUWCb

🏋🏽 As the Olympics 2024 approach, EFAD's ESDN Sports and Physical Activity is proud to announce the release of two vital resources for sports dietitians: infographics on Low Energy Availability (LEA) & Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) risk factors and management, and an Anti-Doping Toolkit. These resources, along with accompanying background documents, are designed to enhance the support dietitians provide to athletes, ensuring optimal performance and adherence to anti-doping regulations. 🤺 Anti-Doping Toolkit In addition to nutritional guidance, dietitians must also help athletes navigate the complex landscape of doping risks associated with nutritional and ergogenic supplements. Our Anti-Doping Toolkit equips dietitians with comprehensive knowledge of doping rules, the risks of contamination in nutrition and supplements, prohibited substances, and the rights and obligations of athletes and support personnel. The toolkit is aligned with the WADA Code, ensuring that dietitians have the necessary information to prevent doping violations and maintain the integrity of their guidance. 🔗 Access all resources here: https://lnkd.in/dc7AUWCb Ria Vanderstraeten pieters serge Katarzyna Janiszewska Raul Lopez-Grueso, PhD Sousana Papadopoulou Anneke Palsma Karen Reid Monica Guglielmetti Stella Mirić

Many European consumers are consuming more than the recommended amount of added and free #sugars. 🧁 Low- or no-calorie #sweeteners offer a potential alternative for people looking to reduce their intake. Yet consumers are confused about the benefits and risks of sweeteners, and often their perceptions of the health risks of their consumption do not align with the best evidence from the available data on their safety and efficacy. Therefore, stakeholders engaged in communication about the sweetener use need to work together to develop innovative and effective communication strategies to improve communication around the topic to the general public.🤝 On 23 September 2024, EUFIC will host and moderate a multi-stakeholder Communication Lab where a diverse range of stakeholders to engage in a dialogue around best practices for communicating to the general public about health benefits and potential risks of sweetener use. During the communication lab, participants will hear insights on consumer perceptions and media portrayal of sweeteners and have a chance to contribute to several discussions.
