Journal Article
Jurov, I., Keay, N., & Rauter, S. (2022). Reducing energy availability in male endurance athletes: a randomized trial with a three-step energy reduction. Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 19(1), https://doi.org/10.1080/15502783.2022.2065111

BACKGROUND Low energy availability (EA) can be detrimental for athlete health. Currently, it is not known what the threshold for low EA in men is, and what effects it may have on performance. METHODS This study was set to determine potential effects... Read More about Reducing energy availability in male endurance athletes: a randomized trial with a three-step energy reduction.

Inducing low energy availability in trained endurance male athletes results in poorer explosive power (2021)
Journal Article
Jurov, I., Keay, N., Spudić, D., & Rauter, S. (2022). Inducing low energy availability in trained endurance male athletes results in poorer explosive power. European Journal of Applied Physiology, 122(2), 503-513. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-021-04857-4

Purpose Low energy availability in males needs more original research to understand its health and performance consequences. The aim of the study was to induce low energy availability in previously healthy male endurance athletes by reducing energy a...

Severe Reduction of Energy Availability in Controlled Conditions Causes Poor Endurance Performance, Impairs Explosive Power and Affects Hormonal Status in Trained Male Endurance Athletes (2021)
Journal Article
Jurov, I., Keay, N., & Rauter, S. (2021). Severe Reduction of Energy Availability in Controlled Conditions Causes Poor Endurance Performance, Impairs Explosive Power and Affects Hormonal Status in Trained Male Endurance Athletes. Applied Sciences, 11(18), https://doi.org/10.3390/app11188618

The aim of this study was to severely reduce energy availability (EA) in controlled conditions in trained male endurance athletes to observe any effects on health, performance, and psychological and energy markers. EA was reduced by 50% over 14 days...

A Proposal for a Standardized Approach to Inducing Low Energy Availability in Athletes (2021)
Journal Article
Jurov, I., Keay, N., Hadžić, V., & Rauter, S. (2021). A Proposal for a Standardized Approach to Inducing Low Energy Availability in Athletes. Applied Sciences, 11(15), https://doi.org/10.3390/app11156679

Low energy availability in athletes is an insufficiently researched phenomenon due to lack of a universal methodology. Current objective and subjective methods for assessing low energy availability lack in accuracy, are not used with a standardized a...

Relationship between energy availability, energy conservation and cognitive restraint with performance measures in male endurance athletes (2021)
Journal Article
Jurov, I., Keay, N., Hadžić, V., Spudić, D., & Rauter, S. (2021). Relationship between energy availability, energy conservation and cognitive restraint with performance measures in male endurance athletes. Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 18(1), Article 24. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12970-021-00419-3

Background: Low energy availability in male athletes has gained a lot of attention in recent years, but direct evidence of its effects on health and performance is lacking. The aim of this research was to objectively measure energy availability (EA)...
