Adolescent Athlete Research Community (AARC)

Too many young athletes face burnout or injury due to poor fuelling, stress, or misunderstood development needs. They’re elite performers — but still children. The Adolescent Athlete Research Community (AARC) exists to change that.

The AARC brings together world-leading experts in sport and medical sciences with athletes, parents, and coaches to ensure adolescent athletes can win well - achieving success without sacrificing long-term health and wellbeing.
