Abstract

This case study presented information on a female athlete who did not match the trends observed (anthropometry and energy intake) in previous female athlete triad studies. The participant had amenorrhea and joined our research project at 19 years of age. This case study focused on the participant’s personal history related to diet and practice since she started long-distance running until this study through interviews. It explored her approach to decision-making and her behavior regarding running during her high-school days. The response to oral medication treatment for menarche, which started in her first year of college, was also examined. This practical case study observed the participant in detail to obtain easily comprehensible real-life health-related data on female athletes and the significance of proper athletic conditioning education from a young age.
