Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the dietary intake and health changes of Australian Football League Women's (AFLW) athletes throughout the season, noting there are limited preexisting studies in this area.
- Over the course of the preseason and competition season, athletes consistently failed to meet daily energy and carbohydrate intake recommendations, with many players showing a risk of low energy availability.
- While body fat and skinfold measurements improved during the preseason, overall nutrition knowledge was low among the athletes, which could negatively affect their health and performance if poor dietary habits continue.
