Hydration For Low Intensity Team Sports
Hydration requirements for low intensity teams sports will be largely dictated by the environmental conditions as the low exercise intensity will do little to accelerate sweat rates further.
When temperature and/or humidity is high, you should plan to drink TORQ Hydration Drink ahead of thirst to prevent dehydration.
Fuelling Low Intensity Team Sports
Carbohydrate availability for low intensity team sports provides less of a nutritional challenge than higher intensity sports, and therefore a more relaxed fuelling approach can be adopted.
Grazing on foods such as TORQ’s Explore Flapjack helps to supress hunger and maintain blood glucose, which is essential for focus and concentration, during prolonged games or matches.
Recovering After Low Intensity Team Sports
There is little need to consume a dedicated product like TORQ Recovery Drink following low intensity team sports, because carbohydrate stores are unlikely to be depleted nor would there be damage to muscles.
Attention should be paid to a nutritionally balanced, colourful diet in the hours following a low intensity team sport game or match.
