Before entering the boarding school, my child used to do a specialist sport and was really toned up

Since starting to boarding school, I think he was doing more general support in sports, and I can see the change in his body that it's became more flaky and and generally less toned up

Please could you advise me how to maintain the better routine exercise if they boarding

My ds does an intense sport and is toned. When he gives that up unless he does something else at a high level he is unlikely to maintain the same physique. That’s life. If your child is old enough to board presumably they’re old enough to choose what sport/exercise to do.

I agree if you are picked in the boarding school for
Specific sport sport it's great opportunity and training

I feel my child wasn't particularly picked for a specific good teams, and as a result, he was playing in low teams and very demoted, and just seems pitting a lot of his his time in very low level sport

They should have access to they gym? We've lived in a number of boarding schools and the pupils have always made good use of the gym. At my DS's school there is a 'performance gym' (free weights etc) which they are taught to use effectively in dedicated lessons. They can go to the gym in the evenings after prep. I do also see kids out running before breakfast.
