Athletes can take this "low body fat in the name of improved performance" idea too far. While the average body fat percent in the United States and Europe is increasing, low body fat percent can be a health problem as well. The female athlete triad of disordered eating, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis is a relatively new phenomenon. Women athletes who strive for better performance and lower body weight often find themselves caught in a negative spiral that actually leads to decreased performance and health risks. Eating disorders require special attention and professional assistance. There have even been steps taken by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to keep wrestlers from going too far when it comes to 'making weight', or reducing their weight to qualify for a lower wrestling weight class.
