Due to the duration and long-term endurance and strength requirements of basketball, it’s a sport that greatly depletes glycogen stores. With basketball, correct diet can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Many basketball games are decided in the final minutes of the game when fatigue is a determining factor.

Therefore, {{widget type="catalog/category_widget_link" anchor_text="carbohydrates" title="carbohydrates" template="catalog/category/widget/link/link_inline.phtml" id_path="category/390"}} are significantly important for basketball players, because the ability to sprint and jump almost exclusively uses carbohydrate stores as the energy source. The basic diet of a basketball league player is balanced and varied. This includes pasta, potatoes, whole grain bread, brown bread, rice, oatmeal, bananas, etc. The IronMaxx {{widget type="catalog/product_widget_link" anchor_text="Hotride" title="Hotride" template="catalog/product/widget/link/link_inline.phtml" id_path="product/491"}} drink is also recommended for this purpose. It provides the body with carbohydrates and restores energy reserves and stamina at the same time. {{widget type="catalog/category_widget_link" anchor_text="Protein" title="Protein" template="catalog/category/widget/link/link_inline.phtml" id_path="category/335"}} intake is very important for basketball players, especially for the muscles. In the first 45-60 minutes after training or a basketball game, you should - if possible - take {{widget type="catalog/category_widget_link" anchor_text="amino acids" title="amino acids" template="catalog/category/widget/link/link_inline.phtml" id_path="category/347"}} and carbohydrates in combination with food or drink. The {{widget type="catalog/product_widget_link" anchor_text="100% whey protein" title="100% whey protein" template="catalog/product/widget/link/link_inline.phtml" id_path="product/535"}} and {{widget type="catalog/category_widget_link" anchor_text="BCAAs" title="BCAAs" template="catalog/category/widget/link/link_inline.phtml" id_path="category/349"}} are particularly well suited for this.

After playing, a supplementation of 500 ml of a sports drink is useful as it accelerates regeneration. Recommended drinks are those that contain a mixture of 70% carbohydrates and 30% amino acids. Once again, the IronMaxx Hotride sports drink is suited to this requirement. In its individual composition, Hotride combines four powerful short, medium, and long-chain carbohydrates with a huge number of powerful energy nutrients.
