Fuelling Active Kids

SDA has a range of resources to support our future champions or support your family to get healthy and active:

  • Food for your Sport booklets -  written by former SDA President and Mum, Ruth Logan, these fantastic booklets specifically targe active children aged 5011 years, across a range of sports. Supported by the Canned Foods Information Service.
  • Lunch Box ideas
  • Food For Active Families recipe book
  • Fuelling and Cooling the Junior Athlete to provide answers to common nutrition issues for young athletes.

Childhood obesity is a growing concern in our community.  SDA, supported by Uncle Tobys, brought together experts in nutrition and physical activity to write the Medical Journal of Australia Supplement "Recommendations for nutrition and physical activity for Australian children".  Our fact sheet on The Overweight Child - a family approach also provides tips on how to manage this problem.
