The main aims of this dissertation are 1) to review the existing medical literature on the possible intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors for EAMC, and 2) to investigate risk factors that are associated with a self reported past history of EAMC in Ironman triathletes. The focus of this research is to increase the understanding of possible causes of EAMC, so that prevention and treatment strategies can be optimized. 2014-07-28T08:23:51Z 2014-07-28T08:23:51Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/2765 eng application/pdf MRC/UCT RU for Exercise and Sport Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town
