MATCH MATCH
WHY BOTHER WITH YOUR DIET?
Optimum gains from the training program.
Enhanced recovery within and between gym/training/matches.
Achievement and maintenance of an ideal body weight.
Reduced risk of injury and illness.
Confidence in being well-prepared for matches and training.
Consistency in achieving high level performances in matches.
COMMON ISSUES AND CHALLENGES.
Poor knowledge of foods and drinks.
Poor choices when shopping/dining out.
Outdated knowledge of sports nutrition.
Inadequate finances.
Busy lifestyle – school/training
Limited availability of quality produce – i.e. post-match away games
Poor use of supplements and sports foods
ENERGY DEMANDS OF MATCH PLAY
• Total distance ran for international players is 10 – 13 km per game
• Combined with over 600 m at sprinting speed
• And approximately 2.4 km covered at high intensity (i.e. just a bit slower than
sprinting)
• Average heart rate for a match is about 85% MHR whilst the O2 demand is about 70%
VO2max.
• This suggests that a player weighing 75 kg would use 1800 kcal
GENERAL GUIDELINES - CARBOHYDRATES
• 5 – 7 g/kg/day
• So for a 75 kg player this would equate to between 375 – 525 g/day
• Generally you want to be eating whole meal foods i.e. brown pasta/brown rice/brown bread
• Avoid white, processed foods such as white bread and white rice.
• High GI vs. Low GI
Pre-Match Advice
• In order to maximise glycogen
stores consume a low GI rich
carbohydrate meal no less than 3
hours prior to KO.
• 2.5 g/kg 4 hours prior to KO is
ideal i.e. large bowl of porridge,
milk and a banana.
GENERAL GUIDELINES - PROTEIN
• 1.6 – 2.0 g/kg/day
• So for a 75 kg player this would equate to 120 – 150 g/day
• Should be consumed in 25 - 30 g portions steadily throughout the day i.e. every two hours or at
least 20 g with each meal.
• Protein source should either be from animals or Whey – Ideally not vegetable protein i.e. Soya
(Not absorbed fully)
• Ensure to include protein with any recovery meal i.e. post-gym/training/match (Shake is ideal
here)
GENERAL GUIDELINES - FAT
• Fat provides double the amount of energy of
Carbohydrates and Proteins (9 kcal compared to 4
kcal/g)
• So eating more fat will mean you end with A LOT of
excess energy (which is then stored… as fat)
• The body produces fatty acids – except two (Omega-3
and Omega-6)
• More than likely you are defficiant.. Due to your diet
• 1 – 3 g/day
• Can be sourced from tablets
• These two healthy fats help with
• Attenuated oxidative stress at high intensities
• Reduced DOMS
• Improves recovery rates
• Improves immune function
• Increases fat breakdown via glycogen sparing
S & C SEASON PROGRAM
• 6 week preparatory phase
• Focus on muscular hypertrophy and teaching you the techniques
• Testing week – Bench Press/Max Chin Up/Trap Bar Deadlift
• 6 week blocks
• 3 sessions/week where possible
• Upper body (Monday)
• Lower body (Tuesday/Day Release)
• IP/Resisted Sprints/Power (Thursday)
• Progressive load throughout each block
• Testing week will follow each block if possible to ensure progress
• Programs will be individualised
• Strength
• Hypertrophy
• Power
INJURY RATES AMONG PRO FOOTBALLERS

Reduce hamstring/quadriceps imbalance
