A healthy diet can help the young sports stars of tomorrow fulfil their potential. Around 85% of children regularly take part in sports activities outside lessons. Swimming is the most common activity for girls, with football for boys. 43% of children spend between 1-5 hours per week doing sport outside lessons (Sport England).

Throw into the mix the need to keep hydrated and lots of children are training and competing below par.

Find out about specific nutritional requirements for different sports - from running to swimming, gym to dance, racquet sports to football and rugby.
