This guidance on fuelling up and feeling great, or the Low Energy Availability guidance as it is also known, helps participants, parents and coaches understand the effects of nutrition and how to spot the signs of low energy. It highlights the importance of recognising symptoms and seeking timely support.
Young people and parents
Eating well gives young people the energy to enjoy their sport, feel great and reach their goals. This guidance helps young people and parents spot when energy might be low, understand why it matters and encourages working together to take action early – keeping sport healthy, positive and fun for everyone.
Coaches and volunteers
This guidance is tailored for coaches and volunteers, outlining your important role in spotting low energy in young people. It explains how to identify symptoms, why early action matters and how you can support young people by signposting them and their families to the right help and resources.
