In this study, the nutritional and recovery habits of tennis players pre-, during, and post-match-play were investigated. Seventy tennis players completed a bespoke nutrition and recovery habits questionnaire, with questions related to the following areas: match preparation, intra-match nutritional habits, situation dependent variables, and post-match nutrition and recovery. On match day-1, the consumption of balanced meals consisting of carbohydrate (CHO), fat and protein, with some micronutrient considerations were reported by 51% of players. On match-days, CHOs were prioritised prior to match-play with CHO dominant meals consumed by the majority of players. During matches, all players adopted a nutritional strategy, with water (94%), banana(s) (86%) and sports drinks (50%) commonly used. Carbohydrate rich nutritional aids, including sports drinks (80%) and energy gels (26%) were utilised more readily during long matches (>2 h). The day after match-play, 39% of players reported the consumption of "nothing specific". Multiple post-match recovery strategies were adopted by 80% of players, with foam rolling (77%), ice baths (40%), protein shake intake (37%) and hot baths (26%) most used. Findings indicate highly variable eating and recovery habits in tennis players pre-, during and post-match-play, with scope for improved practices.
在这项研究中，调查了网球运动员在比赛前后的营养和恢复习惯。70 名网球运动员完成了一份专门的营养和恢复习惯问卷，问题涉及以下方面：比赛准备、比赛中的营养习惯、情况相关变量以及赛后的营养和恢复。在比赛日前一天，51%的运动员报告说食用了均衡的膳食，其中包含碳水化合物（CHO）、脂肪和蛋白质，并考虑了一些微量营养素。在比赛日，CHO 优先于比赛前摄入，大多数运动员都食用 CHO 占主导地位的膳食。在比赛期间，所有运动员都采取了营养策略，94%的运动员喝水，86%的运动员吃香蕉，50%的运动员喝运动饮料。富含碳水化合物的营养辅助品，包括运动饮料（80%）和能量凝胶（26%），在长于 2 小时的比赛中更常被使用。比赛后的第二天，39%的运动员报告说只吃了“没有特别的东西”。80%的运动员采用了多种赛后恢复策略，其中最常用的是泡沫轴滚动（77%）、冰浴（40%）、蛋白质奶昔摄入（37%）和热水浴（26%）。研究结果表明，网球运动员在比赛前后的饮食和恢复习惯差异很大，有改进的空间。
