		<title>I am an athletic trainer for a women’s sports team and would like to incorporate weight training and other off-field conditioning or cross-training to improve performance and decrease risk of injury. I have also been told weight training is good for bone health. However, I’m afraid I may end up overtraining my athletes or causing problems/injuries like those related to the Female Athlete Triad. Am I qualified to do this type of training?</title>
		<description>As an athletic trainer you are certified and trained to prevent and treat injury.  Only a trained professional that is certified in strength training and conditioning (National Strength and Conditioning Association’s Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist or USA Weightlifting are great examples) should be training athletes in sport-specific strength ...</description>

		<title>My daughter has been missing her period for the past 3 months. I understand a period may be absent in skinnier girls who exercise too much. My daughter is not fat but is definitely not skinny. Also, I do not think she exercises enough to cause any worry. I am aware pregnancy is the top reason for a missed period but could there be another reason why my daughter is not getting her period?</title>
		<description>Yes, there are other reasons why your daughter may not be getting her period. These reasons include polycystic ovarian syndrome or PCOS, and chronic diseases, such as thyroid disease, diabetes, or hyperprolactinemia (high levels of prolactin). However, you should first confirm she is not pregnant. Once pregnancy is ruled out, ...</description>
