3. What We’ll Cover Today An overview of good “post-game” nutrition Chocolate milk and post-exercise recovery research Tips to create a post-game nutrition action plan

4. Post-Game Nutrition Can affect performance at the next game/practice Can help reduce the chances of injury Boost the health, well-being of your athletes It’s Just As Important As Pre-Game Nutrition!

5. The Workout’s Finished… But The Body Isn’t 2-Hour Recovery Window Replenish and Recover Immediately After Exercise and Throughout the 2-Hour Window

6. Who Needs To Recover? Football players after two-a-days Cheerleaders after the big competition Basketball players after a game ALL athletes – professional or high school

7. ? Do Your Athletes Already Know About Recovery? ?

8. Before The GameAfter The Game ?

9. Endurance Athletes Recognize The Importance, But Know Little According To A Recent Study… 88% of endurance athletes say that RECOVERY is an important part of their training Yet, only one out of three recognized the importance of the 2-hour RECOVERY window Yet, only one out of three recognized the importance of the 2-hour RECOVERY window Laymon AS, et al. Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. 2008;40:S399.

10. How Do Athletes Recover? Water A Recovery Beverage Rest Only 1 in 4 athletes opted for a recovery beverage Laymon AS, et al. Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. 2008;40:S399.

11. In Addition To Water, Athletes Need… CARBOHYDRATES to refuel muscle glycogen PROTEIN to reduce muscle breakdown, stimulate growth FLUID and ELECTROLYTES to replenish what is lost in sweat and to rehydrate the body VITAMINS and MINERALS to contribute to overall health and nutrition

12. Post-Exercise Nutrition Guidelines What The Experts Say Carbohydrate 1.5g of carbs/kg body weight during first 30 min and again every 2 hours for 4 to 6 hours Carbohydrate 1.5g of carbs/kg body weight during first 30 min and again every 2 hours for 4 to 6 hours Fluids 16-24 fl. oz. for each pound of body weight lost during exercise helps restore fluid balance Fluids 16-24 fl. oz. for each pound of body weight lost during exercise helps restore fluid balance Electrolytes Based on extent of sweat loss (If sweat water and electrolytes are not replaced, then the person will dehydrate) Electrolytes Based on extent of sweat loss (If sweat water and electrolytes are not replaced, then the person will dehydrate) Protein Ratio of about 3:1 or 4:1 carbohydrate to protein Protein Ratio of about 3:1 or 4:1 carbohydrate to protein Position of the American Dietetic Association, Dietitians of Canada, American College of Sports Medicine.

15. Choosing An Effective Post-Exercise Drink What The Research Says About Chocolate Milk

16. Why Milk? Protein Carbohydrates Electrolytes Fluids Calcium and vitamin D B vitamins 9 essential nutrients To help rehydrate the body To help convert food to energy Offers additional nutrients not typically found in traditional sports drinks To strengthen bones and help reduce the risk of stress fractures To help replenish what’s lost in sweat (sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium) To refuel muscles (restore muscle glycogen) To help build muscle, reduce muscle breakdown and work with carbohydrates to restore muscle glycogen

The Nutrition Facts Lowfat Chocolate Milk Good Source of 9 Essential Nutrients Potassium Niacin Calcium Vitamin D PhosphorusProtein Vitamin A Riboflavin Vitamin- B12 U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service. 2007.

18. Why Chocolate Milk? The Right Mix of Carbohydrates and Protein 3.25/1 There’s research on the benefits of BOTH chocolate and white milk for athletes… But chocolate milk has the added benefits of extra CHO needed after exercise!

19. The Research Refuel muscles Build muscle and help reduce exercise-induced damage Hydrate and replenish electrolytes 1 2 3

20. Chocolate milk may be just as effective as certain commercial sports drinks in helping athletes refuel muscles after a workout 1

21. Karp JR, et al. Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. 2006;16:78-91. Thomas K, et al. Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism. 2009;34:78-82. After Recovery, Researchers Compared Lowfat Chocolate Milk To: Carbohydrate Replacement Drink (with CHO and protein) Fluid Replacement Drink (with CHO) Indiana University (9 trained cyclists) When drinking chocolate milk they exercised longer and with more power during a second workout When drinking chocolate milk they exercised just as long Northumbria University, UK (9 trained cyclists) After chocolate milk they were able to cycle 51% longer After chocolate milk they cycled 43% longer Chocolate Milk Has The Right Combination Of CHO And Protein To Refuel Tired Muscles

22. Milk’s high-quality protein helps build and repair muscles 2

23. A Muscle Building Advantage Compared to a soy beverage: Canadian researchers found that active adults who drank milk after resistance exercise experienced greater support for muscle gain A second study found that untrained participants who drank fat free milk after exercise gained more muscle and lost more body fat at the end of a 12-week training program Researchers suggest milk’s advantage may be due to unique properties of milk proteins that may cause differences in speed of digestion and absorption.

25. Reduced Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage Research subjects who drank reduced-fat regular or flavored milk after a strenuous muscle workout had less exercise-induced muscle damage than those who drank water or typical sports drinks 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.

26. Recovery Aid For Soccer Players Chocolate milk drinkers had significantly lower levels of creatine kinase – an indicator of muscle damage – compared to when they drank the carbohydrate beverage. Chocolate milk’s “natural” muscle recovery benefits match or may even surpass a specially- designed carbohydrate sports drink with the same amount of calories Chocolate milk’s “natural” muscle recovery benefits match or may even surpass a specially- designed carbohydrate sports drink with the same amount of calories Gilson SF, et al.

27. Milk may be an equivalent or better choice for hydration after exercise compared to certain beverages, replenishing needed electrolytes and fluids Milk may be an equivalent or better choice for hydration after exercise compared to certain beverages, replenishing needed electrolytes and fluids 3

28. Milk Helped Restore Hydration Better Than Other Popular Post-Exercise Beverages 4 hours Significantly more urine excretion after drinking water or sports drink compared to milk Researchers believe milk’s electrolyte content and energy density may help restore and maintain hydration after exercise.

30. Milk Is An Excellent Source of Calcium For Strong Bones One study found that basketball players had significant bone mineral content losses throughout the season (6% loss overall) – likely related to sweat losses. – Adding calcium to the diet helped offset the losses. Martin BR, et al. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. 2007; 39:1481-1486. Klesges RC, et al. Journal of the American Medical Association. 1996;276:226-230. Lappe J, et al. Journal of Bone and Mineral Research. 2008;23:741-749. Rigorous exercise could cause substantial losses of calcium, which if not replenished, could increase the risk for bone fractures

33. Putting It All Together Creating A Recovery Plan For Your Athletes

34. Our Recovery Must-Do’s Pay attention to the 2-hour recovery window 1 1 Emphasize fluids, protein and carbohydrates 2 2 Make recovery easy and convenient 3 3

35. Post-Workout Snack Ideas Chocolate Milk – Nature’s fitness drink. Chocolate milk has the added bonus of bone-building nutrients (not found in traditional sports drink) 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 re-energized.
