The Kinzua Wrestling Club will offer a seminar entitled “The Female Athlete Triad: Education & Treatment” this coming Monday, September 11th.  This seminar is specifically geared for female athletes and their parents who compete in the sports of wrestling, cross country, and gymnastics.  However, everyone participating in a girl’s sport is encouraged to attend.

The one-hour informational session will provide education to understand the dangers and potential consequences of the Triad.  The Female Athlete Triad consists of three components: amenorrhea (loss of a girl’s period), insufficient nutrition, and osteoporosis resulting in bone density loss.  All of this has potential to impact a young girl during her peak bone-building years.
