Question 15

Pre-Performance Hydration & Food

Answer 15

Hydration:
Drink water in the hours leading up to performance (2-3 hours before).
Aim for about 500-600ml of water 2-3 hours before performance.
Top up with 200-300ml of water 10-20 minutes before the event.
Food:
Carbohydrates: Consume complex carbs for sustained energy (e.g., pasta, rice, whole grain bread).
Protein: Include moderate protein sources like lean meats or eggs.
Timing: Eat 3-4 hours before the event for a full meal or a smaller snack 1-2 hours before (e.g., fruit, yogurt, banana).
Avoid fatty or fried foods, as they take longer to digest.

Question 16

During-Performance Hydration & Food

Answer 16

Hydration:
Carbohydrate-rich fluids help fuel performance (sports drinks with carbs & electrolytes like sodium).
Consume 30-60g of carbs per hour depending on the activity’s intensity and duration.
Electrolytes: Replenish lost electrolytes for optimal muscle function, especially during long or intense exercise.
Food:
Carbs: Keep blood glucose levels stable with sports gels, bananas, sports bars.
Ensure quick energy from simple carbs when needed in high-intensity performance.
Hydrate while replenishing carbohydrates.

Question 17

Post-Performance Hydration & Food

Answer 17

Hydration:
Rehydrate by replacing 150% of the fluid lost during exercise.
Water or sports drinks with electrolytes can replace lost fluids.
Avoid alcohol, as it dehydrates the body and affects recovery.
Weigh yourself before and after exercise to monitor fluid loss, ensuring hydration restores pre-exercise weight.
Food:
Protein: Consume lean protein (e.g., chicken, tofu) within an hour to assist muscle recovery.
Carbs: Include high GI carbs to replenish glycogen stores quickly (e.g., white bread, pasta).
Timing: Eat protein and carbs within an hour of exercise to optimize recovery.
