Abstract

<p>Female athletes are susceptible to low energy levels, hypothalamic amenorrhea, osteoporosis, and a constellation of clinical conditions, which the American College of Sports Medicine has defined as the female athlete triad (FAT). FAT is not only the result of reduced energy consumption due to constant and intense exercise training and daily dietary restrictions but also arises from psychological stress. This paper introduces competitive and daily stressor scales for female athletes, the reliability and validity of which have been verified. Furthermore, research that has investigated the effects of mitigating stress coping in the competitive stress model of Japanese female athletes is reviewed and the effects of FAT on the model are discussed. In addition, this paper considers a study that examined the difference of stressor and stress response scores in relation to the presence of FAT subjective symptoms of rhythmic gymnastics athletes.</p>
