As part of our Saints Support – Athletic Performance and Care series, we had Alex Munt, Sports Dietician (Rowing Australia, Cricket NSW, NSW Swifts) present at the College on Nutritional Considerations for Teenage Athletes.
Topics covered during this information session included: “Tick the Box” model for snacks and meals (ensure a fruit/veg, protein source, grain-based carbohydrate and healthy fats were included in each meal), identifying hydration status and strategies to ensure you are adequately hydrated throughout the day, supplementation and where it sits on the priority list for performance gains and how to identify batch tested versions of supplements, and signs and symptoms of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDS). The evening was full of fantastic information for both parents and students to take away and implement.
