Note. Values are presented as means ± SD. CHO = carbohydrate; PRO = protein; LEAF-Q = Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire (35); EEE = exercise energy expenditure; EA = energy availability; DAmp = double amputee; SB = spina bifida; CP = cerebral palsy; Poliy = poliyomielyte; bold data indicate “at risk” or moderate EA in AB female subjects [8] and potentially at risk or moderate EA in AB male subjects based on emerging information [10].
