Answer to Question 1

Treatment of the female athlete triad focuses on correction of the negative energy balance and on restoration of ovulation and bone mass accretion. Peak bone mass is established before age 30, so it is particularly important that interruptions in bone development be prevented or short in duration. Vitamin D, calcium, and other supplements may be needed in addition to a balanced and adequate diet to facilitate bone development. Restoration of energy balance can reverse disruptions in reproductive hormones and bone formation.
