The approach to preventing Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) encompasses various strategies aimed at promoting athletes' overall health, well-being, and performance. Limiting training sessions is not typically part of a proactive strategy. Instead, it may inadvertently contribute to negative outcomes by restricting athletes' opportunities for development, skills enhancement, and physical conditioning.

The focus on prevention and intervention generally leans toward implementing structured educational programs to raise awareness about nutrition, energy balance, and the risks associated with disordered eating behaviors. Strict weight policies and rule changes regarding weight-sensitive issues emphasize maintaining healthy weight standards and promoting safe competition practices among athletes. These approaches collectively aim to protect athletes from the adverse effects of energy deficiency, making the imposition of limitations on training sessions an ineffective strategy within a holistic prevention framework.
