The Resource Zone is an area for all athletes - whether you're an athlete supported by the SIS network or a dedicated enthusiast going it alone.

We'll be adding factsheets, information and advice to the Athlete Zone over time, so check back regularly for the latest best practice.

Current factsheets

For more athlete resources, check out the UK Sport website or the BOA website.

Social media guidance

Here is some helpful information from UKSport on how athletes can safely get the most out of social media.

Strength and conditioning guidance

We have put together a PDF guide and a series of fantastic instructional videos on how to make the most of your gym sessions.

These were made for athletes who don't have access to a regular strength and conditioning resource and for junior athletes aspiring to succeed on the World sporting stage.

Theraputic Use Exemption Forms (TUE)

There are two types of TUE:

1) A standard TUE - required for a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method other than inhaled beta-2 agonists.

2) Another TUE specifically for asthma - only required for the use of inhaled beta-2 agonists for certain products but the common asthma inhalers only need to be declared online

Athletes are no longer required to apply for an abbreviated TUE for non-systemic glucocorticosteroids (eg. a steroid inhaler or non-systemic doctors steroid injections) but must declare to UK Sport when glucocorticosteroid use begins. Declare use online here at the UKAD - declaration form
