Low energy availability doesn’t just affect performance — it affects your health, recovery, hormones, bone health, mood, and long-term athletic potential.

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) can impact athletes of all ages, genders, and sporting levels — often without them realising it.

Common signs can include:
⬇️ Reduced performance
⬇️ Fatigue & poor recovery
⬇️ Recurrent injuries
⬇️ Hormonal disruption
⬇️Low mood & burnout

Early recognition and intervention matters.

At Foster Performance UK, I support athletes with:
✔️ RED-S screening & assessment
✔️ Athlete health & performance evaluations
✔️ Return-to-play planning
✔️ Injury & recovery support
✔️ Education for athletes, coaches & parents

The Anderson Squat is one of the best variations for developing raw concentric strength and explosive force production.

Because every rep starts from a dead stop, you learn to generate power without relying on momentum or the stretch reflex.

Benefits include: ✔️ Improved starting strength ✔️ Better rate of force development ✔️ Increased bracing ability ✔️ Stronger squat positioning ✔️ Fixing sticking points

Have you tried Anderson squats before?

Confidence isn’t something you wait to feel.
It’s built through repeated action — especially on the days motivation is low.

Most people are waiting for the right time.
Progress belongs to those who keep showing up anyway.

Action creates belief.
Not the other way around.

Painting isn’t “time off.”
It’s nervous system regulation.

Research shows creative activities can lower stress hormones and inflammatory markers — both key factors in recovery and injury risk.

Recovery isn’t passive.
It’s intentional.

💬 What does recovery look like outside the gym?

🚨 Injury Prevention Starts Here! 🚨

Whether you're hitting the gym, running, or playing sports, injuries can happen if we're not careful. But don’t worry, you can reduce your risk with a few simple strategies! 💪

🔑 Key Tips to Prevent Sports Injuries:

Warm-Up Properly 🏃‍♂️
Warming up increases blood flow to your muscles, improving flexibility and reducing the chance of injury. Start with 5-10 minutes of light cardio and dynamic stretches.

Condition Your Body 🏋️‍♀️
Build strength and endurance to avoid overuse injuries. A balanced workout routine targeting all muscle groups will keep you strong and injury-free.

Focus on Form 🧘‍♂️
Proper technique is crucial! Whether it's a squat or a sprint, maintaining good form reduces stress on your joints and muscles, lowering injury risk.

Rest & Recover 🛏
Overtraining is a big cause of injuries. Make sure you’re giving your body enough time to recover between workouts.
