After Practice or Matchplay
Drink at least one regular size bottle (20 oz.) of electrolyte-enhanced carbohydrate
sports drink per pound of body weight lost within a two hour period. Replace
between 120%-200% of body weight lost per exercise session. It is also helpful to consume
some protein to help aid recovery. 10-20 grams of protein within 30 minutes of
practice or matchplay will help speed recovery. Adding extra sodium to the beverage
will also speed rehydration by allowing the athlete to drink more fluid and retain
more fluid in the system.
