At the end of the 20th century, health challenges specific to female athletes gained attention, manifested inthe female athlete triad (consisting of menstrual dysfunction, low energy availability, and diminished bonemineral density). Female athletes exhibit a heightened susceptibility to sports injuries and disabilitiescompared to their male counterparts. In Japan, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science andTechnology initiated a comprehensive project in 2013 dedicated to the development and support of femaleathletes, with a particular emphasis on elite-level athletes. While significant progress has been made inresearching and supporting elite female athletes through various institutions and college organizations, thesame level of support has not been consistently extended to junior and developmental level athletes, includingthose engaged in school athletic activities. To bolster support for young female athletes, we developed targetedtraining programs aimed at injury prevention and performance enhancement during the 2018-2019 term of theJapan Sports Agency-funded project. Subsequently, during the second (2020-2021) and third (2022-2023)terms of the project, we established a bidirectional online platform, a website, and an online learning systemutilizing social networking services (SNS). These initiatives were designed to address the evolving needs ofboth athletes and their support networks. This paper presents evidence from a comprehensive six-year projectdetailing our proactive endeavors and system development throughout these projects. In this project, westrived to disseminate crucial support and information to adolescent female athletes, their parents, andcoaches, optimizing the well-being and knowledge of young athletes in their formative years.
