A Strategic Approach to Optimise Post-Match Recovery Recovery is a crucial component of athletic success. Implementing an effective recovery strategy can reduce recovery time but also enhances muscle repair and replenishes energy stores. Key elements of a well-rounded recovery plan: 1. Carbohydrate Replenishment: ~1g/kg of body mass per hour for 4 hours post-match to restore glycogen stores. 2. Protein Intake: 20-25g of high-quality protein every 3-4 hours, with 30-60g of casein protein before bed to support overnight muscle repair. 3. Hydration: An individualised approach to replenishing fluids and electrolytes lost during activity. By focusing on these pillars, athletes can maximise recovery, improve performance, and be prepared for the next challenge.
