Requires no change to training load leading up to the event
11
Hawthorn FC redesigned their training ground so it was the same size as the MCG. This is:
Mental imagery
Confidence building
Simulation
Mental rehearsal
12
Which sports drinks contain comparable concentrations of CHO & electrolytes to the human body?
Hypotonic drinks as they have lower osmolality than the body
Caffeine drinks, as they are rapidly absorbed by the body
Hypertonic drinks as they have higher osmolality than body
Isotonic drinks as they have the same osmolality as the body
13
