Recovery Is The time it takes the body to repair itself from the damage caused by training. During recovery a complex process takes place which includes: Refueling the muscle and liver glycogen stores (carbohydrates) Replacing fluids and nutrients lost through sweat Developing new muscle proteins required for growth REFUEL 2012 4
POST-GAME Nutrition 2-HOUR RECOVERY WINDOW Can affect performance at the next game/practice Can help reduce the chances of injury Boost the health, well-being of athletes IT S JUST AS IMPORTANT AS PRE-GAME NUTRITION! REFUEL 2012 5
DO YOUR ATHLETES ALREADY KNOW ABOUT RECOVERY? REFUEL 2012 6

Endurance Athletes May Recognize The Importance, But Know Little According To A Recent Study Yet, only of endurance athletes say that RECOVERY is an important part of their training recognized the importance of the 2-hour RECOVERY window Laymon AS, et al.

After Exercise, YOU NEED PROTEIN to reduce muscle breakdown, stimulate growth CARBOHYDRATES to refuel muscle glycogen FLUID and ELECTROLYTES to replenish what is lost in sweat and to rehydrate the body REFUEL 2012 10
Post-Exercise NUTRITION GUIDELINES What The Experts Say Carbohydrate Protein Fluids Electrolytes 1.5g of carbs/kg body weight during the first 30 minutes and again every 2 hours for 4 to 6 hours Ratio of about 3:1 or 4:1 carbohydrate to protein 16-24 fl. oz. for each pound of body weight lost during exercise helps restore fluid balance Based on extent of sweat loss (if sweat water and electrolytes are not replaced, then the person will dehydrate) Position of the American Dietetic Association, Dietitians of Canada, American College of Sports Medicine.

For Example, WITHIN 2 HOURS AFTER EXERCISE 120 Pound Athlete May Need Carbohydrate Protein Fluids Electrolytes 82 grams (amount in about 24 ounces of chocolate milk) 20 to 27 grams 24 ounces (depending on exercise intensity, weight loss) Sodium to aid hydration, other minerals (depending on sweat losses) REFUEL 2012 12
And, a 190 Pound Athlete May Need Carbohydrate Protein Fluids Electrolytes 130 grams (amount in about 40 ounces of chocolate milk) 32 to 43 grams 24 ounces (depending on exercise intensity, weight loss) Sodium to aid hydration, other minerals (depending on sweat losses) REFUEL 2012 13
Choosing An Effective Post-Exercise Drink What The Research Says About CHOCOLATE MILK REFUEL 2012 14
Chocolate Milk s Liquid Assets Protein Carbohydrates Electrolytes Fluids Calcium and vitamin D B vitamins 9 essential nutrients To help build muscle, reduce muscle breakdown and work with carbohydrates to restore muscle glycogen To refuel muscles (restore muscle glycogen) To help replenish what s lost in sweat (sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium) To help rehydrate the body To strengthen bones and help reduce the risk of stress failure To help convert food to energy Offers additional nutrients not typically found in traditional sports drinks REFUEL 2012 15

Carbohydrate sports drink Exercised LONGER and with MORE POWER during a second workout Cycled 51% LONGER Had significantly MORE POWER and RODE FASTER, shaving about six minutes from their ride time Had TWICE THE IMPROVEMENT in V02max (measure of aerobic fitness) Karp JR, et al.

Chocolate Milk HELPS REPLACE MUSCLE GLYCOGEN The Right Mix of Carbohydrates and Protein 3.25:1 16 ounces of fat free chocolate milk after exercise led to greater concentration of glycogen in muscles at 30 and 60 minutes post-exercise, compared to a carb only sports drink with the same calories Karfonta KE, et al.

REBUILD REFUEL 2012 22
A Muscle Building ADVANTAGE In a study of moderately trained male runners those who drank fat free chocolate milk after exercise had enhanced skeletal muscle protein synthesis a sign that muscles were able to repair and rebuild compared to a fluid replacement drink (with just carbohydrates). Athletic men and women who drank milk one hour after a leg resistance exercise routine experienced a significant increase in two measured amino acids Lunn W, et al. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 2010;42:S48. Elliot TA, et al. Medical Science in Sports and Exercise. 2006;38:667-674. REFUEL 2012 23
Reduced EXERCISE-INDUCED MUSCLE DAMAGE Athletes who drank regular or flavored milk after a rigorous workout had less exerciseinduced muscle damage than those who drank water or typical sports drinks, according to several studies. EXERCISE-INDUCED MUSCLE DAMAGE can lead to future impairments in muscle performance, which could affect future exercise bouts Cockburn E, et al. Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism. 2008;33:775-783. Cockburn E et al. Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism. 2010;35:270-277. REFUEL 2012 24
Improved BODY COMPOSITION Compared to other electrolyte beverages lacking protein: Canadian researchers found that active adults who drank milk after resistance exercise experienced greater support for muscle gain Other studies found that untrained men and women who drank fat free milk after exercise gained more muscle and lost more body fat at the end of a 12-week training program Wilkinson SB, at al. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2007;85:1031-1040. Hartman JW, et al. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2007;86:373-381. Josse et al. Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. 2010;42:1122-1130. McCleave EL et al. ACSM, 2011.

Post-Workout SNACK IDEAS Chocolate Milk Nature s recovery drink. Chocolate milk has the added bonus of bone-building nutrients (not found in traditional sports drinks) to help maintain strong bones. Turkey and Cheese with Apple Slices and Pretzels If you're not in the mood for a sandwich, skip the bread and eat the fillings on their own! Tuna on Whole Wheat Tuna over a slice of whole wheat bread is a great protein/carb mini-meal. Banana and Peanut Butter Provides a good source of protein and vitamin E, while the banana provides the carbohydrates you need to get reenergized. REFUEL 2012 34
