Description

Do you or your gymnast know the difference between RED-S and Overtraining Syndrome? If you've listened to any of our podcast episodes, you've heard me discuss Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, aka RED-S, countless times. But the term overtraining syndrome might be new. Or something you've heard about but not sure exactly what it entails. There's a lot of overlap and confusion. And this can often result in misdiagnosing between RED-S and Overtraining Syndrome for your gymnast.Some fatigue, soreness, and stress are part of a gymnast's life just by the nature of the sport. But what so many coaches and gymnasts deem "normal", could be warning signs there's something else going on. Is your gymnast struggling with adaptation to her training and you or her coach can't figure out why? Or, if you worry she's not spending enough time in the recovery phase of training, this is definitely a must-listen episode for you. Listen to today's episode to learn more. In this episode you'll hear about: The similarities and differences in RED-S and Overtraining Syndrome in gymnastsThe negative impacts of underfueling on recoveryHow to push past common barriers and prevent RED-S or Overtraining Syndrome Links & Resources The Balanced Gymnast®  Program for level 5-10 female gymnasts Episode 4: Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport and GymnasticsEpisode 49: Fueling the Gymnast: Carbohydrate EditionTake the QuizConnect with Christina on Instagram @the.gymnast.nutritionist or support@christinaandersonrdn.com
