Fantastic advice on recovery post swimming training from our Development sponsor @healthmanagementdietitians- 4 R’s of Recovery!
Being great at recovery doesn’t just involve stretching and warming down... Nutrition plays just as much of a factor and can be the difference between going into your next training session sore and fatigued or bouncing off the walls with energy!
Below are 4 recovery tips for success known as the 4 R’s of recovery:
- Restore : Restoring your body with 1g/kg of carbohydrate within 30mins of training can dramatically help to replenish muscle glycogen and blood glucose levels quicker - For a 50kg person, that’s 50g of carbohydrate, which is equivalent to 2 x slices of bread and a banana OR an up and go and a banana
- Rebuild : Rebuilding your body’s lean muscle tissue with essential protein post exercise aids in reducing recovery time. Protein aids in repairing fatigued muscles and making them stronger for your next training session. Aim for 20g - That equivalent to an up and go energize or 1 x scoop Whey protein
- Rehydrate : Rehydrate with 1.5 x total weight lost during a training session. A great exercise is to weigh yourself before and after a training session and then adding on the fluid consumed. This will give you an indication about what your rehydration requirements might be. You should also look at potentially replacing electrolytes or considering a sports drink if your session is lasting longer than 1hr of moderate to high intensity and you’re a moderate to heavy sweater.
- Revitalise : Eat the rainbow - Aim to consume a nutritious meal with different vegetables/fruits within 2 hrs of finishing training to revitalise your body with essential nutrients.
