Rugby, Soccer and Hockey – What, when and how much?
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 3 ways:

  1. Nutrition/Carbo-loader: 1-3 days before (depending on the intensity of the match how many heats etc). 1 scoop  in 200mls water at 10h00, 15h00 and before bed.
  2. In the morning: Take 1 scoop in 200ml water about 2 hours before the match. This is particularly good if you struggle to eat beforehand!
  3. Recovery food: 1-2 scoops immediately afterwards to maximise fast recovery, especially if you have another match later in the day, or 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 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).

  3. Whenever you get the chance during the game, sip on EnduraPower.
  4. At half time, down ~500mls, or as required.
  5. After the game, drink another 500-750ml for recovery – especially if you have another match later, or the following day.
