Early identification

The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) mission is to lead and enable a united high performance (HP) system that supports Australian athletes/teams to achieve podium success.

Early identification

DE in athletes can occur at any time; both precipitating, or being precipitated by, challenges in the athlete’s life as well as occurring during a time of successful performance. DE may manifest in a variety of ways that are unique to the individual.

Rapport between the athlete and service provider, or knowledge of the athlete’s baseline health and function can be helpful in the identification of DE and EDs.
