Abstract
This handbook is designed for YOU – the young, active female surf lifesaver. It will shed light on the unique factors that are of special interest to you as a female athlete in your pursuit of training and performance excellence.
We will look at three main issues concerning the female athlete. Those issues are body image, healthy eating versus unhealthy eating and the female menstrual cycle. All three issues have been recognised as factors that may affect your health and performance both today and in the future. You may experience any one or more of these issues either in a minor or severe form during your athletic career. In either case, where symptoms appear medical advice is recommended.
