Combined Events Athlete Development Project

The Combined Events Athlete Development Project (CEAD Project) provides education and research for elite combined events athletes to help promote optimal health and sport performance. The project includes educational support and assessment of dietary practices, as well as assessment of body composition and biochemical markers of nutrition status. Project activities are conducted at Track Meets, Summit Meetings, and through educational manuals, newsletters, handouts, emails, and individual consults with athletes and their coaches.

The CEAD Project (formally known as the (Female) Heptathlete Development Project during the years of 1990-2001), expanded to include male combined events athletes in 2002 following funding by USA Track and Field. The project now works to provide nutritional support to both male and female combined events athletes.
