6-7 g CHO/kg BW
Eat carbs at each eating interval

Post Exercise Replenishment





Readily available
Relatively inexpensive
Similar kcal content as
carbohydrate
replacement beverages
CHO: PRO ratio
Provides fluids, sodium
High in calcium
Hydration is KEY!
Cool fluids before, during and after activity
Before:
–
–
–
20 oz fluid: 2-3h prior to event
8 oz during active warm up
1 oz = 1 swallow/gulp
During (Drink on a schedule):
–
–
Individual plan is IDEAL!
~8 oz every 15 minutes (NATA)
After:
 Weigh before and after exercise :
–
Drink 16-24 fl oz of fluid for every pound lost
Choosing Fluids


Flavor & temperature important
Plain water may not be enough
–

Sports drinks encourage drinking
–

Clear water bottles encouraged
Avoid high sugar drinks – absorbed more
slowly, increase stomach cramps and
nausea
–

Electrolytes and blood sugar need replacing
6-8% CHO solution
Undiluted fruit juices - too much
carbohydrate causing GI discomfort
What About Energy Drinks?








Fueled by caffeine
Not well labeled (5-500 mg caffeine)
Do not know how other “energy” ingredients
react with caffeine
No regulation
Citicoline, tyrosine, phenylalanine, taurine,
malic acid, glucuronolactone and caffeine
Effect on liver and other organs?
Provide a higher concentration of
carbohydrates
Higher likelihood of crash and burn effect
Break the “Losing Cycle”
Feel
Frustrated
with lack of
“results”
Weight Loss




Slow & gradual
Off season
Aim for a healthy weight
range
Do NOT make any
recommendations for
weight to entire team
Healthy Weight (Muscle) Gain
Add 300-500 calories per day
 Eat frequently- have a plan
 Include pre- and post exercise
snacks with protein
 Go back for seconds

Are Supplements Needed?






May need a Multi-Vitamin
Omega 3 Supplement (Fish Oil) is
beneficial for heart health and recovery
Vitamin D and iron as needed by blood
test
Calcium as needed
BE AWARE: Certain supplements can
cause dehydration
Sports supplements are not regulated
by the FDA and should be avoided
?
**BEFORE taking ANY supplement, check restrictions
for ALL ingredients and check with a professional
