Fuel for competition and recovery!Slide2
Hydration techniques used to enhance performance and recovery including water; hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic sports drinks; and intravenous rehydration
Nutritional strategies used to enhance performance and improve recovery including carbohydrate loading, application of the
glycaemic
index, carbohydrate gels, and protein supplementationSlide3
What can cause fatigue in an athlete?
depletion of glycogen stores
hypoglycaemia
(low blood-glucose levels)
dehydration
low blood-sodium levels
gastrointestinal upset.Slide4
Fuelling for shorter-duration sports
Less than 60 min
No glycogen depletion = no need to refuel during the event.
Glycogen stores should be adequate before and after training and competition.
Fluid replacement will need to happen, water is adequate, however sports drinks are more tasty!Slide5
Fuelling for moderate intensity or intermittent sports
60-90 minutes
Can normally be fuelled by
gycogen
stores in athletes.
Tapering of training and carbohydrate consumption of 7-10 grams per kg in the 24-36 hours prior to the competitionSlide6
Fuelling for prolonged sub-maximal events
Longer than 90 minutes
e.g
marathon
Endurance athletes already have a higher amount of glycogen stored.
They can also consume additional carbohydrate before the event = Carbohydrate Loading.
Carbohydrate loading can increase stores of muscle glycogen 50-100% above normal resting levels.
Carb loading + tapering = increased muscle glycogen stores.
During the event 30-60 grams of carbohydrates per hour
schould
be consumed
Extra reading: “What is carbohydrate loading?” page 358Slide7
Pre-event meal and fluid requirements
The major goals of the pre-event meal are to:
finish topping up glycogen stores (especially in the liver, because they will have depleted overnight)
top up fluid levels
leave the gastrointestinal system comfortable during the event
prevent hungerSlide8
Pre event meal
Ideal timing = 1-4 hours before the event.
3-4 hours before consume a meal
or
1-2 hours before consume a light snack
Foods with a Low GI , low in fat and moderate in
fibre
and protein. Slide9
Suitable foods
Foods suitable 3–4 hours prior to exercise include:
breakfast cereal with milk
baked beans on toast
bread roll with cheese or meat filling and a banana
pasta or rice with a sauce based on low-fat ingredients (i.e. tomatoes, vegetables, lean meat).
Snacks suitable 1–2 hours prior to exercise include:
milkshake or fruit smoothie
sports bar
fruit-
flavoured
yoghurt
fruit
.
Low
Gi
foods are not beneficial during exercise.Slide10
Refuelling during exercise
Sports lasting 60-90 minutes can be fuelled by stored carbs and fats without the need to replenish during the event.
Sports that last longer than 90
mins
may benefit from consumption of carbohydrates as fuel fatigue is likely.
How does it help?
Carbohydrate consumption can lead to glycogen sparing by using the carbs to remake glycogen for later use.
Also this keeps blood glucose levels in a normal range providing extra fuel and delaying fatigue.
Recommended starting early in the event 30-60 grams of moderate to high GI foods per hour.
E.g
60 grams carbs = two bananas or 95 grams jelly beansSlide11Slide12
Type of exercise
Refuelling suggestion
Intermittent team sports lasting 60–90 minutes
Recent studies have found that intermittent team sports may benefit from consumption of carbohydrate during the game as it is said to delay fatigue, prevent low blood-glucose levels and promote glycogen sparing.Slide13
Type of exercise
Refuelling
suggestion
Endurance
events
> 90 minutes
As there is no indefinite supply of glycogen within the muscles or liver, carbohydrate
refuelling
is advised at a rate of approximately 30–60 grams per hour, or 500–1000 mL of a sports drink, or 10–20 jelly beans. (This is dependent on the individual athlete and will be determined following specific experimentation and consideration of environmental factors such as heat.)
Sports drinks, bananas, sports bars or sugar confectionery such as jelly beans are highly recommended, although ultimately it is the choice of the athlete as to which foods are most comfortable to ingest while competing.Slide14
Type of exercise
Refuelling
suggestion
Ultra-endurance events > 4 hours
Typically these athletes compete at a lower intensity than most team sports or short-distance events. This allows digestion to take place while competing, so the athlete can consume small amounts of solid foods.
High-carbohydrate foods, in conjunction with small amounts of protein and fat, are advised for the ultra-endurance athlete. Muesli bars, sports or breakfast bars and jam sandwiches are a good choice for ingestion during performance.
Obviously hydration must also be addressed throughout the event.
Carbohydration
is beneficial in these events as well.Slide15
Recovery
As
previsously
discussed
Studies have shown that an athlete should consume carbohydrate-rich foods and drinks that provide at least 1 gram of carbohydrate for each kilogram of body mass
within
30 minutes after exercise

YOUR TURN!
List the factors that can cause nutrition-related fatigue in an athlete
.
Compare the differences in fuelling for events of differing durations
.Slide17
YOUR TURN!
Define carbohydrate loading. Is it a suitable strategy for all events? Explain
.
Explain the function of the pre-event meal.
Discuss how long before competition a pre-event meal should be consumed
.Slide18
With reference to the
glycaemic
index, identify the types of foods that should be consumed pre event, during the event and post
event.
Identify the duration of event for which consumption of small amounts of solid food during competition is recommended. Explain why this is recommended.Slide19
10.5 Hydration
More than half your body weight and over 70 per cent of your body mass is water. Each day the body needs to replace about 2
litres
of fluid to balance what is lost (and this is not even accounting for fluid loss through sweating!).Slide20
Functions of fluid
to
transport energy, waste, hormones and antibodies
to dilute waste products
to lubricate surfaces and membranes
to help regulate body temperature
to be involved in all chemical reactions in the body.Slide21
How much fluid?
200-600 mL of fluid prior to their event
500-1000mL of fluid per hour of activity.
Replacing fluids is vital as we can lose up to 6L or 3-4kg due to sweat and other mechanisms
We can assess how much fluid we need to consume by doing pre and post competition weigh ins.
150% of the fluid lost should be consumed i2 2-4 hours. If athlete loses 2kg then they need to drink 2-3L of fluid to rehydrate.

Water vs Sports drinks
Sports drinks such as Gatorade,
Isosport
,
Powerade
,
Lucozade
and
Endura
are popular means of replenishing fluid losses.
There are 3 different types of sports drinksSlide23Slide24
Type
Content
Isotonic
Fluid, 6–8 per cent carbohydrate, 10–25 mmol/L electrolytes (e.g. Gatorade)
Hypotonic
Fluid, low level of carbohydrate (< 8 per cent), 1–25 mmol/L electrolytes (e.g. water)
Hypertonic
Fluid, high level of carbohydrate (> 8 per cent) (e.g. fruit juice, soft drink)Slide25
Isotonic sports drinks
Most widely used.
Advantages are
Carbs and electrolytes provide taste and helps stimulate consumption.
Sodium aids in the retention of consumed fluids within the body without bringing on thirst.
The carbohydrates aids in energy replenishmentSlide26
Hypotonic sports drinks
Act quickly to replace fluids lost through sweating.
Less carbs so absorbed more quickly.
Good for jockeys.Slide27
Hypertonic sports drinks
Used during and after prolonged endurance and ultra-distance events.
High carb levels so absorbed slowly
Need to be used with isotonic drinks to replace fluid lossSlide28
Sports water
Good alternative to plain water. No research done yet

Intravenous drips in rehydration
For many years, intravenous (IV) hydration has been used in sport to medically assist athletes suffering from severe dehydration
. Now used for recovery
Justine
Henin-Hardenne
won the US open tennis after using an IV drip the night before to reverse the dehydration she suffered during her three hour pervious match.
Brisbane lions used IV drips at halftime to rehydrate players.
IV infusions are now in the banned list of substances
inless
medically requiredSlide30
