NCT ID NCT07232628
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 40 elite triathletes over two competitive seasons to see how their energy availability affects performance, injury risk, and overall health. Participants continue their normal training and diet while undergoing regular tests like blood samples and body scans. The goal is to find markers that signal when an athlete is not getting enough energy, which could help prevent injuries and improve training outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help identify early warning signs of low energy availability, enabling athletes and coaches to prevent injuries and optimize performance.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 40 participants, so findings may not apply to all athletes. It does not test any treatment, so it cannot directly improve health or performance.
