Post Game Nutrition & Fluid Replacement for Recovery Wednesday, 25 May 2011 Written by Stephen McIntyre Recovering from a rugby game is an important part of your conditioning strategy. The quicker you can recover, the more time you will have to prepare efficiently for your next game. Two areas that you need to have a definite plan in place for are your post game nutrition and replacing fluid lost during a match. The keys here are to rehydrate and refuel quickly and efficiently. Appropriate recovery sports drinks are ideal, and can easily be brought to each game by the player. Basic Guidelines for post game refuelling would be: • Immediately Post Game: Consume High GI carbohydrate and protein drink (4:1ratio CHO/Protein; using 1.5g/Kg CHO) • Post Exercise Follow Up: Moderate/High GI carbohydrates and mixed meals with protein. Body weight loss as a result of fluid and fuel loss during a game is to be expected. Following training and games weigh each player before he leaves the changing room.
