Abstract

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a complex condition that arises from a long-term mismatch between the energy consumed and the energy required for physical exercise and bodily functions. This issue can result in various health complications, including reduced bone density, hormonal imbalances, weakened immune response, and impaired sports performance. Despite its significance, RED-S frequently remains unnoticed because there are few effective, practical, and accessible tools for screening. This article presents the Shenergy RED-S Smart Website, a collaborative online resource aimed at facilitating the early identification of energy deficiency among athletes by incorporating principles from physics and exercise science. The platform utilizes the World Health Organization-approved Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) to evaluate energy output during physical activities and couples this with Body Mass Index (BMI) as a key measurement. This method enables screening without relying on costly wearable technology, thereby enhancing feasibility in sports settings with limited resources. Preliminary findings suggest an 85% accuracy in detection when compared to traditional manual evaluation techniques and it could enhance health awareness and athlete understanding of RED-S risks. This article explores the scientific foundations, techniques, significant findings, and future advancements regarding the Shenergy platform.
