This is very important research, and this information needs to get out to coaches, and athletic departments, as well as to parents of high school (and NCAA) athletes. This is the first generation of young female athletes in high school and college who have been able to benefit from participation in a wide variety of sports because of Title 9. Unfortunately, dietary restraint in females seems to go hand in hand with intense participation in some sports. Documented research such as this study by Ms. Barrack on the athletes’ bone health while they are heavily involved in athleteics is very important. Kudos to Ms. Barrack and fellow investigators for timely and practical research.

Congratulations to accomplished study author, Barrack, without whom there would be no above article.

A great article covering a problem which is very prevalent amongst young female runners and one which we should all approach with care and sensitivity. The more knowledge we have the better equipped we will be to be able to identify and help these young athletes.
