Summary

José Arteta, PhD, is a lecturer at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Liverpool John Moores University. His primary interest is in the area of training-nutrition interactions in humans, including energy availability and low energy availability specifically, which is the main topic of today's interview. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -What is energy availability, and how is it different from energy balance? -What is considered low energy availability? -Symptoms and consequences of low energy availability -The uncertainty around measuring energy availability in the field, and difficulties with interpreting it -Diagnosis, detection and treatment of low energy availability -Sex differences in low energy availability -Weight loss and low energy availability SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts378/ SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON AND THAT TRIATHLON SHOW WEBPAGE: www.scientifictriathlon.com/podcast/ SPONSORS: FORM Smart Swim Goggles give you unprecedented real-time feedback in your swim training through a display on the goggle lens. See every split to stay on pace, track your stroke rate and don't let it drop, use heart rate to become more scientific and precise with your training (through integration with Polar HR monitors) and analyse more in-depth metrics post-swim in the app. You can also use a vast library of workouts or training plans, or build your own guided workouts.

0:17.9	Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon Show.
0:22.7	The podcast presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.
0:26.1	I'm your host Michael and on today's episode I interview Dr. Jose Areta, who is a lecturer at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Liverpool, John Morris University.
0:34.8	We will discuss the topic of low energy availability, which you have
0:38.7	probably heard about before on this podcast, among others. But I think what is quite unique
0:44.0	about this interview is that we go quite deep into, I guess, the uncertainty and the
0:49.6	positive of knowledge that exists around the topic and how much is still to be discovered.
0:55.1	So I guess this episode, if nothing else, will help you not draw to firm conclusions about
1:01.4	anything just from calculating a simple number.
1:04.8	But before we get into that, big thanks to our sponsor's form.
1:08.2	The form smart swim goggles give you unprecedented real-time feedback in your
1:11.7	swim training through a display on the goggle lens. You can see every split keep track of your
1:16.2	stroke rate and you can use heart rate through integration with polar heart rate monitors.
1:20.9	And all of this will help you execute your swim workouts better through better pacing,
1:26.1	better intensity control and so on. You can also get access
1:29.4	to in-depth post-swim analysis in the form app where you can see metrics like distance per stroke
1:34.3	and the app will sync your workouts seamlessly to platforms like training peaks, Trava, Today's Plan and
1:39.3	Final Search. The app also has a vast library of workouts and training plans that you can sync
1:43.7	to your goggles and do guided workouts or you can even build your own guided workouts.
1:48.1	Get 15% off the goggles with the code TTS15 on FormSwim.com for SETS.
