Gatorade in Soccer?

[QUIKAZHELL]

I wouldnt say that Gatorade is bad to consume after a soccer match, or even training. you need high glycemic CHO’s after training to stimulate a higher blood glucose level to increase the secretion of insulin which in turn increases the uptake of glucose by the muscles therefore replenishing glycogen stores in the muscles. it is interesting that there is an exercise-induced increase in glycogen synthase that is the enzyme responsible for gylcogen synthesis immediately after a workout. so i dont think gatorade is a bad thing, however like duxx said a CHO and protein mix is the best as some amino acids like leucine & phenylalanine stimulate even more insulin secretion.

While I agree Gatorade is better than nothing for the reason stated above (glycogen replenishment) and a CHO and protein mix is better I think there may be far better “stuff” post workout instead of gatorade which main CHO is high fructose corn syrup. I would prefer dextrose or another type of fast acting Carbohydrate. The drink by ABB called “Carboforce” seems to work well for me. Half of that and a scoop of protein seems to bring me back to earth after tough workouts or between events. I have also sipped this during workouts.
