Summary
This study tested whether a brief online educational video could improve healthcare professionals' understanding of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) and the Female Athlete Triad—conditions often missed by providers. 200 Spanish doctors, nurses, and physiotherapists were randomly assigned to watch the video or not. The researchers measured changes in knowledge, attitudes, and confidence using questionnaires. The goal was to see if a simple, scalable tool could help professionals recognize and manage these conditions better.

- Active substance
- Educational video on Female Athlete Triad and RED-S
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this video could be a simple tool to help doctors, nurses, and physiotherapists spot and manage RED-S and the Female Athlete Triad earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study measuring knowledge change only, not patient outcomes. The video's real-world impact on athlete health remains unproven.
