To combat the paradox of increased sports participation, decreased levels of physical activity, and increased rates of obesity, we propose an integrated youth physical development model.

Testosterone and cortisol have significant effects on sporting performance. Part II discusses applied strategies utilisable to ensure a hormonal environment to achieve peak performance.

There is evidence that athletes training hard are at increased risk of picking up minor illnesses and infections. Most common are viral infections of the upper respiratory tract.

This article will critically evaluate research on the gut's role in immune function, water and nutrient absorption, gastrointestinal complaints and intestinal injury during exercise.

This article will critically examine classic and contemporary literature to answer the question, “Are sugary drinks still the key to prolonged performance?”.

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