Speed, strength and stamina are all essential in the hard-hitting game of rugby, as well as a good level of general fitness. A positive, focused mental attitude will help to deal with the inevitable injuries in this contact sport. Performance on the pitch is directly dependent on two things - an effective and sustained training regime and optimum nutrition. Burn-out and fatigue are common.
A strong and healthy cardio-respiratory system is vital for peak performance – this enables adequate oxygen to be transported to the muscles during play, ensuring the ability to produce sudden bursts of speed and effort, swift recovery from them on the field, and minimal after-effects following a match or training session. A long-term balanced energy intake is also vital to maximise performance and minimise the risk of injury.
Be-Well have developed a programme of nutrients especially for Rugby players, to be taken before, during and after exercise:
- The “before” product package is designed to maximise the intake of carbohydrate prior to a major bout of exercise utilising mainly long – chain glucose polymers.
- The “during” product package is designed to maintain hydration during exercise whilst providing some energy in the form of a combination of carbohydrates.
- The “after” product package combines protein and carbohydrates to promote recovery, muscle resynthesis and growth.
The Be-Well Nutrition System for Sports and Fitness - it's certainly got to be worth a try.
