Physical Preparation
Basic Principles: the cost of exercise
There is an energetic cost to skating, involving:
Sprinting
Rapid changes in direction and skating speed
Technical actions performed at high speed
Avoiding players and the puck
Basic Principles: the cost of exercise
Therefore your ability to effectively participate at moderate-high levels of physical activity requires proper nutrition, hydration and
appropriate recovery from previous bouts of exercise.
In performing any and all of these activities, a decline in physical performance (i.e., fatigue) WILL occur throughout:

Take home message: Whereas the player is allowed to “recover” after every shift – the linesman never gets the opportunity to do so.
To ensure proper pre-exercise hydration, an individual should consume:
17 – 20 oz of water / sports drink 2 – 3 hours prior to event; and
7 – 10 oz of water / sports drink 10 – 20 minutes prior to event.

Hydration and Exercise Performance: Pre-Game
Fluid Replacement Strategy: Post-Game
J Ath. Train 35:212-224, 2000
Replenishing fluid volume and glycogen stores is critical in the recovery to exercise.
Including Sodium ions (Na+) in the rehydration beverage (or diet) allows fluids to be better conserved and also increases the drive to drink.
Including CHO’s in the rehydration beverage improves the intestinal absorption of water and Na+ and helps to replenish glycogen stores.
Ideally, post-exercise hydration should be completed within 2 hours.

The CHO concentration should be approximately 6 - 8% (6-8 gm/100 ml)
Sodium (Na+) should be present in small amounts 0.03 – 0.07% (30-70 mg/100ml)
Nutrition and Athletic Performance: Pre-Game
Calories in a pre-game meal should range between 500-1000, with the primary nutrient being complex Carbohydrates:
• Avoid high amounts of simple sugars (i.e., glucose/sucrose).
• Stay away from fat since it is digested more slowly and not used as a fuel source during competition (as body stores are more than adequate).
• Steer clear of high amounts of protein.
Nutrition and Athletic Performance: During Game
CHO’s consumed during exercise has been shown to maintain blood glucose levels and improve exercise performance.
CHO consumption during exercise is important especially in cases where individuals have not CHO-loaded or consumed a pre-exercise meal.
CHO’s can be obtained via:
• sports drink
• snack (e.g., dried fruit; banana; granola …)
• sports gel
(1) Need to replenish electrolytes lost via sweating (primarily Na+)• immediately after game in locker room• “recovery” sports drink
(2) Need to replenish fuel stores:• within 20 minutes following game• replace muscle glycogen and speed recovery• typical examples: tortilla wraps; slice of pizza; PB and J
(3) Need to facilitate muscle recovery and repair:• within 2 hours after game• protein will provide amino acids for repair of muscle tissue• typical dinner to include: pasta with chicken, fish …
Nutrition and Athletic Performance: Post-Game
Nutrition and Hydration - Summary
The two most important nutritional practices associated with optimal athletic performance are:
Amer. Acad. Pediatrics, Pediatrics 127:1182-1189, 2011
(1) Eat a nutritionally-balanced diet in the days preceding your games.
(2) Drink liquids at regular intervals before, during and after games.

Have a proactive strategy going into your games!
Supplementation during games will NOT overcome any pre-game deficit.
Supplementation during games merely slows down the loss of fuels and fluids that
normally occur during exercise.

So Why Spend Valuable Time On This Topic?
(1) It is your responsibility (i.e., duty) to work hard every game.
(2) Working multiple games in a day is not an excuse for lack of effort.
(3) You never know who will be in the rink during your games.

Energy Drinks: Are They Necessary?
Sports Drink – a flavored beverage that typically contains:• Carbohydrates• Electrolytes• Vitamins
Energy Drink – a flavored beverage that typically contains:• Carbohydrates• Electrolytes• Vitamins• Non-nutritive stimulants

Sport Drinks and Energy Drinks are different products.
Sports and energy drinks are:• A large and growing beverage industry (> $6-8 B/yr)• Marketed to adults, adolescents and children
Marketing strategies for sports drinks:• Optimize athletic performance• Replacement of fluid and electrolytes lost during exercise
Marketing strategies for energy drinks:• A boost in energy• Decreased fatigue• Enhanced concentration• Mental alertness

Energy Drinks – The Bottom Line
There is no scientific basis for their use.
These products are costly and potentially harmful.
Therefore, why use them?
