  1. “Healthy Corner Kicks” Brought to you by the Warren County HFC August 25, 2009

  2. It’s Hot. What should my soccer player drink? • Adequate hydration is key to peak performance • The longer and more intense the exercise, the more critical it is to drink frequently. • Cramps, dizziness and fatigue are signs of dehydration

  3. Fluid choices • Cool fluids are better • Water is good but if your child needs something more palatable, a sports drink (like Gatorade) is helpful • No carbonated drinks • No Caffeine which will dehydrate

  4. Before exercise: • 24 hrs before a game, adequate water and carbohydrates should be consumed. • One way to monitor this is the color of urine. • Clear or pale yellow indicates proper hydration, dark yellow indicates poor hydration status • Drink 20 fl oz of water 2-3 hrs before game, • Drink 10 fl oz of water 15 minutes before game

  5. During game • Drink 10 fl oz every 10-15 minutes during game • For exercise longer than 60 minutes, a sports drink to add calories is helpful

  6. After Game • Continue to drink a sports drink to replenish carbohydrate levels • Chocolate milk is a good recovery drink • Food in a ratio of grams of carbs:protein should be 4:1
