Recovery

[kingjames23rulz 0]

Hello, i am wodnering of anyways that after a practice and game I can recover quicker and be able to stay in top shape throughout the season. I practice Monday-Friday during the season and have a game on a Saturday, sometimes with a game on Friday. Any opinions on how to recover quickly? Thanks

Fluids fluids and more fluids.

a lot of pro players will pedal on a stationary bike after a game to keep the blood flowing and carry the lactic acid out of their muscles... and lots of fluids, like Fireonice said.

Fluids, cooldown activity (walking or slow bike riding) are the two easiest, there are supplements and things that are supposed to help but it's not usually neccessary.

amino acids / proteins will help with the lactic acid buildup and recovery rate.

endurox R4, chocolate milk, bike, and water

I'm in a beginner adult league so not really serious.

Here is my post game recovery program.

Friday night: Game at either 8.15 or 9.45 pm

Finish game, beer in the locker room or parking lot.

Get home around 11.30ish, kick off shoes, turn on TV, have a couple of beers.

Bed.

Get up saturday morning, complain about being stiff, hop in the bath for half an hour.

Several beers between saturday, and the game friday.

Works wonders for the body this beer stuff

when you say alot of fluids....do you mean just water or gatorade propel etc.?

Get some chocolate milk in you with a PB&J right after game or practise. It's the only thing that works for me and I have the basically the same schedule as you during the season bettween HS and travel.

Plenty of good food, water, 8-10 hours of sleep each night, daily multivitamin. If you really want to speed along your leg recovery, you could do a 15 minute ice bath after workouts, followed by a nice hot shower.

Basically lots of water, and even stretch when your done. Also sometimes if I feel some groin pain I'll sit in a tub of really really warm water.

you'd do better without the pb & j and more protein. the fat will just slow down the absorption of the protein and it will take longer to do its job. there are plenty of novel compounds out there that will certainly help with recovery greatly. but i wouldn't recommend them to anyone under 18, not because they are dangerous or anything, but 18 is the typical 18 limit for supplements. legal purposes.

lol, I don't think that's exactly what they meant when they suggested "lots of fluids". :P

fluids should be water or a 7% carb mix. 15-30 mintues post game the chocolate milk will help. if you are an adult there are better options though.

I had no idea about chocolate milk.

After a game or practice a ice cold shower does work wonders. Shower as you always do in the arena and when you are home, shower your legs/arms with ice cold water or take some freezer packs and cool your extremities.

i think i remember a topic on here about Oxygen things on the bench or something....can anyone help with that?

nvm i found it...the OXIA on Lupul

[Sven 1]

I just searched for this thread yesterday, so i can help you. Its called Oxia and we got one or two reps around here.

thats a little extreme. beta alanine and citrulline malate would do the job for much cheaper.

$60 for a can of purified oxygen...great idea.

Chocolate Milk May Improve Recovery After Exercise

essentially protein + carbs post exercise will enhance recovery + create a nice anabolic environment post anerobic exercise. chocolate milk is a simple way to achieve this, especially for kids. you should try for skim milk, avoid whole milk if you can.

for 18 and over you could drink whey + carbs (a blend of simple and complex is ideal for a sustained insulin response).
