Tips

During training:
For players to be successful on the pitch, hydration should be done periodically during the match. Isotonic drinks and especially water can be used.
After the training:
Soon after the training (or the departure), the carbohydrate stocks must be replenished, so that the lost energy is recovered. Minerals and vitamins also need to be consumed as they prevent injury, reduce post-workout fatigue and improve the immune system; For this, fruit and fruit juice are great choices.
Protein intake at this time is also important because it is the nutrient responsible for the restructuring of muscle mass that can be compromised during training or intense play.
Great protein choices are: yogurts, lean meats, milk, lean cheeses (ricotta, white cheese, mines or lights), lean ham or turkey breast, eggs, beans, lentils, peas, chickpeas, soybeans, protein bars and so on. And to finish, once again, the water can not be lacking.
