Nutrition educational interventions for athletes related to low energy availability: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Low energy availability (LEA) is a prevalent concern among athletes, often attributed to intentional or unintentional under-fueling behaviors. Nutritional and energy availability educational interventions are poised for successful LEA prevention, with a robust body of literature examining intervention effectiveness. Thus, this systematic review aimed to synthesize the available evidence on nutritional education interventions to address gaps in nutritional knowledge and combat LEA among athletes. Medical databases (MEDLINE, Web of Science) were systematically searched on July 11, 2023, and an updated search was conducted on July 26, 2024. Studies conducted among adult athletes who underwent nutritional education interventions with assessed effects on dietary knowledge, behaviors, and/or LEA
