Sports Dietitians Australia Factsheets

Welcome to the Sports Dietitians Australia factsheets! We encourage you to use the factsheets to further your understanding of these specific areas of sports nutrition but please note that the information they contain is general in nature. We all have different physical needs and attributes. This means that while there are general principles, the key to sports nutrition is that it is very individual in nature.

For support that is specific to your activity needs and health and stage of life requirements, please reach out to an Accredited Sports Dietitian.

This means that both recreational and elite players require endurance, strength, speed, agility and ball-handling skills.
