Waterpolo: To simplify things, we have divided it into 2 areas:

1. Match Day Performance
2. Daily Training and Recovery
Performance:

B.  DAILY Training and Recovery

EnduraShake:

  • A light, but SUSTAINING liquid race meal – for those who don’t wish to feel full in a match!
  • Great for high-intensity sports, where you don’t wish to play on an empty stomach, but you also don’t wish to feel full.

Use EnduraShake 4 ways:

  1. Nutrition/Carbo-loader: 1-3 days before (depending on the intensity of the event and number of heats etc). 1 scoop EnduraShake in 200mls water at 10h00, 15h00 and before bed.
  2. In the morning: Take 1 scoop EnduraShake in 200ml water about 1 hour before your first game. This is particularly good if you struggle to eat before you play.
  3. Over the day: Light sustaining meal. 1 scoop EnduraShake in 200ml water intermittently throughout the day – between heats, whenever you feel hungry.
  4. Recovery food: 1-2 scoops EnduraShake immediately afterwards to maximise fast recovery, especially if you have to compete again the following day. In addition, if you are very tired, take another 1 scoop before you go to sleep. (EnduraShake won’t keep you awake, but it will help feed tired muscles while you’re sleeping)

EnduraPower: This powder goes in your water-bottle(s):

  • Low GI for stable blood sugar (and thus helping with good, energy, focus and drive)
  • High electrolytes to prevent dehydration and muscle cramping (contains Kalahari Salt).
  • Malic acid for high intensity.
  • L-Glutamine for recovery.

Use EnduraPower as follows:

  1. Follow the instructions on the label in terms of the number of scoops per water per litre. (You should not water it down).
  2. Sip on ~750ml EnduraPower well before the start if the game – at least an hour before, and throughout your warm-up. This ensures that you are fully hydrated before.
  3. Sip in-between heats throughout the day of competition. sip on EnduraPower.

GT Gel:

  • Extremely high-electrolyte.
  • Sustaining blood sugar.
  • GT Gel is designed in Africa for African heat.
  • Brilliant for preventing cramps!
  • Convenient to carry and use. Swig and chase with some water!

Use GT Gel as follows:
GT Gel may be used an alternative to EnduraPower: Pour GT Gel into the little decanting bottle and sip intermittently throughout the day of competition (as you would EnduraPower – see above). It is super-convenient as the little pocket bottle will give you energy and electrolytes for several hours over the day for waterpolo heats. Remember to drink water along with GT Gel throughout the day. Drinking water with the gel ensures easy and rapid absorption of the gel.
Note: GT Gel has significant levels of sodium to prevent hyponatraemia. (Water intoxication/over-hydration).

PaceLyte:
A tasteless ELECTROLYTE formula, containing significant amounts of MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE, with a miniscule amount of carb.
Use PaceLyte for Waterpolo as follows:
If you tend to cramp (despite having pre-hydrated with EnduraPower or GT Gel with water), then simply add 1-2 teaspoons of PaceLyte to your waterbottles and sip throughout the day, whilst waiting for your heats/final. PaceLyte will provide you with electrolytes only – HIGH magnesium glycinate, with a very small amount of carbohydrate.
Joobies OR Jooblets: (Same thing, different sizes) One Joobie = 5-6 Jooblets
An electrolyte chewy to a powerful energy boost for sprints!
Use Joobies at a Waterpolo event as follows:
A few minutes before your heat/final: Eat one full Joobie or a couple of Jooblets for energy (and electrolytes). One Joobie will give you max energy for 20 minutes of flat-out sprint for the game.

REAL FOOD:

Souties: For the MUNCHIES over a long day: A savoury, salty biscuit with protein and cassava root/potato biscuit, with MCT oil for energy, Kalahari salt and Himalayan salt. Pure food. No preservatives. (They taste a bit like very salty crisps).

Use Souties: as follows:

  • Anytime! Nice to eat over the day between heats. Real food.
  • When you’re craving a salty, savoury snack, especially after all the sweet stuff!
  • When you need a balanced mini-meal – protein, carb and fat.
  • If you’re cramping. Contains both Kalahari and Himalayan Salt.

Twin packs with a variety of flavours: Plain, Mixed Herbs, Basil-Pesto, Thyme, Umama, Tomato+Black Pepper; and Original. Nothing sweet about them!

L-Glutamine:
An amino acid that helps your body recover.
Use L-Glutamine as follows:

  • Take 1-2 teaspoons after your last event. Simply add to your EnduraPower at the end of all your heats and finals
  • If you are really tired, take another 1-2 teaspoons of L-Glutamine before you go to sleep that night as well.

B.  DAILY Training and Recovery
