Dr Samuel Impey, at the UKSCA's 2022 Conference, discusses utilising implementation science to design, develop and deliver interventions to influence athlete behaviours in elite sport.

This presentation will critique some of the key literature with regards to sports supplements and then assess the transitional ability of this research.

The objective of this session is to discuss how a combined nutrition and physical preparation approach to performance profiling, diagnostics and planning was implemented, to identify and achieve sports performance objectives.

In this article a nutritionist explains factors to consider concerning youth athletes and makes recommendations for their nutritional intake.

This article will consider why vitamin D status may be important to UK athletes and draw conclusions and recommendations.

Some sports have inherent requirement for low fat mass. Losing fat represents balance between providing adequate energy for performance, while maintaining a necessary calorie deficit.
