ABSTRACT
  Team sports are based on intermittent high-intensity activity patterns, but 
the exact characteristics vary between and within codes, and from one game 
to the next. Despite the challenge of predicting exact game demands, 
performance in team sports is often dependent on nutritional factors. 
Chronic issues include achieving ideal levels of muscle mass and body fat, 
and supporting the nutrient needs of the training program. Acute issues, 
both for training and in games, include strategies that allow the player to 
be well fuelled and hydrated over the duration of exercise. Each player 
should develop a plan of consuming fluid and carbohydrate according to the 
needs of their activity patterns, within the breaks that are provided in 
their sport. In seasonal fixtures, competition varies from a weekly game in 
some codes to 2-3 games over a weekend road trip in others, and a 
tournament fixture usually involves 1-3 days between matches. Recovery 
between events is a major priority, involving rehydration, refuelling and 
repair/adaptation activities. Some sports supplements may be of value to 
the team athlete. Sports drinks, gels and liquid meals may be valuable in 
allowing nutritional goals to be met, while caffeine, creatine and 
buffering agents may directly enhance performance. Copyright (copyright)
