Summary

The main objective of this project is to compare two recovery protocols, including nutritional and neuromuscular strategies on inmune, physiological and muscular responses.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Powerade©, CHP, CJ, FR, CWI

Combination of recovery strategies including dietary, neuromuscular and physiological as follows: Powerade©: players will drink 500 mL during the game Carbohydrate and protein (CHP): players will drink 250 mL of water with CHP within 30 minutes after the end of the game. Tart cherry concentrate (CJ): players will drink 30 mL of CJ within 30 minutes after the end of the game. Foam roller (FR): players will follow FR protocol using a polyvinylchloride pipe roller. They will begin with the FR at the most proximal portion of the muscle and to roll as much body mass as tolerable back and forth at a cadence of 1 second superior and 1 second inferior for 45 seconds followed by a 15-second rest for each muscle group (quadriceps, adductors, hamstrings, abductors and calf) in each extremity and repeated once. Cold Water Immersion (CWI): will be the last strategy used. Players will immerse their lower body to the level of hips for 10 minutes in cold water (13-14°C).

OTHER

Powerade©, CHP, STR, ICWI

Combination of recovery strategies including dietary, neuromuscular and physiological as follows: Powerade©: players will drink 500 mL of "Powerade©" during the game Carbohydrate and protein intake (CHP): players will drink 250 mL of water with CHP within 30 minutes after the end of the competition. Stretching (STR): players will perform 10-min of static stretching, involving 2 unilateral repetitions of 30 seconds held stretches to the quadriceps, adductors, hamstrings, abductors and calf muscles. Intermittent Cold-Water Immersion (ICWI): will be the last strategy used. It will consist of five 2 min intermittent immersions of the lower limb (up to the iliac crest) in a cold-water bath (13-14ºC), separated by 2 min rest in ambient air. Ice will be added to the bath at regular intervals to maintain water temperature at 13-14ºC. Players will be instructed to stand in the bath, with as little movement as possible.
