BEFORE PRACTICE GAME/TRAINING
Light snack consisting of carbohydrates (fruit,pasta) about 1 ½ hours prior to practice/game.
This will enable quick digestion, energy release to working muscle and will help in avoiding cramps.
Large/heavy meals before a practice/game will result in.
- Not being able to run at full capacity.
- Tiredness/weighed down
- Cramps and irritability
- Possible vomiting
- And not being to keep up
No chocolate bar, chips or ice cream
This will weigh down athlete and not provide a boost of energy.
If practice/game is scheduled around mealtime, only have a small snack on the way to the event. It is better to play on a slightly empty stomach and have a regular meal after the event.
