“…CWT aims to enhance blood flow, remove metabolic waste, and reduce inflammation [49]. To our knowledge, there are no studies examining the effect of CWT in basketball athletes, despite it being anecdotally reported to be highly utilized by basketball athletes [50]. Protocol selection for CWT is largely based on anecdotal reports, and the optimal number and duration of rotations are still unknown.…”

“…However, it has been shown that an equal ratio of hot to cold improves cycling time trial performance [51]. CWT has also been shown to reduce perceptions of pain after eccentric exercise [50] and to enhance the restoration of strength and power after muscle-damaging exercise [52]. CWT protocols are also time effective to implement with larger teams, with athletes apportioned between the cold and hot water.…”

In-Season Nutrition Strategies and Recovery Modalities to Enhance Recovery for Basketball Players: A Narrative Review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Basketball players face multiple challenges to in-season recovery. The purpose of this article is to review the literature on recovery modalities and nutritional strategies for basketball players and practical applications that can be incorporated throughout the season at various levels of competition. Sleep, protein, carbohydrate, and fluids should be the foundational components emphasized throughout the season for home and away games to promote recovery. Travel, whether by air or bus, poses nutritional and sleep challenges, therefore teams should be strategic about packing snacks and fluid options while on the road. Practitioners should also plan for meals at hotels and during air travel for their players. Basketball players should aim for a minimum of 8 h of sleep per night and be encouraged to get extra sleep during congested schedules since back-to back games, high workloads, and travel may negatively influence night-time sleep. Regular sleep monitoring, education, and feedback may aid in optimizing sleep in basketball players. In addition, incorporating consistent training times may be beneficial to reduce bed and wake time variability. Hydrotherapy, compression garments, and massage may also provide an effective recovery modality to incorporate post-competition. Future research, however, is warranted to understand the influence these modalities have on enhancing recovery in basketball players. Overall, a strategic well-rounded approach, encompassing both nutrition and recovery modality strategies, should be carefully considered and implemented with teams to support basketball players’ recovery for training and competition throughout the season.

In-Season Nutrition Strategies and Recovery Modalities to Enhance Recovery for Basketball Players: A Narrative Review

show abstract

“…This transitory situation is especially relevant when considering that professional teams often face congested schedules with multiple games played in close succession, such as during the playoff period ( Ferioli et al, 2021 ). Thus, the implementation of strategies limiting the negative consequences of basketball activity and improving the time course of recovery is crucial to allow players to train and perform effectively when the time between sessions is short ( Dupuy et al, 2018 ; Huyghe et al, 2020 ).…”

“…The use of post-exercise recovery strategies such as massage, compression garments, hydrotherapy, cryotherapy, stretching, foam rolling, sleep and nutritional approaches has been extensively investigated in various sports ( Herbert et al, 2011 ; Poppendieck et al, 2016 ; Rose et al, 2017 ; Dupuy et al, 2018 ; Wiewelhove et al, 2019 ; Ortiz et al, 2019 ; Bongiovanni et al, 2020 ; Davis et al, 2020 ; Skinner et al, 2020 ; Afonso et al, 2021 ; Kwiecien and McHugh, 2021 ). However, only a relatively limited number of studies has specifically analyzed the efficacy of such interventions in basketball ( Calleja-González et al, 2016 ; Huyghe et al, 2020 ; Davis et al, 2021 ). Therefore, basketball practitioners are often not provided with specific evidence-based guidelines and it is unknown how such research is considered and implemented.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the perceived usefulness, actual use and barriers to the implementation of recovery strategies among basketball practitioners. 107 participants (strength and conditioning coaches, sport scientists, performance specialists) from different countries and competitive levels completed an online survey. Most participants rated recovery strategies as either extremely (46%) or very important (49%). Active recovery, massage, foam rolling, and stretching were perceived as most useful (80, 73, 72 and 59% of participants, respectively) and were most frequently adopted (68, 61, 72 and 67%, respectively). Participants mentioned lack of devices and facilities (51%), excessive cost (51%), lack of time (27%), players’ negative perception (25%) and lack of sufficient evidence (16%) as barriers to the implementation of recovery strategies. The present findings reveal that some dissociation between scientific evidence and perceived effectiveness was present among the study participants. A possible solution would be to ensure that scientific evidence-based guidelines are followed when considering the application of recovery strategies. Regarding actual use, participants favored easily implementable strategies (e.g. active recovery, stretching), rather than evidence-supported, but expensive and/or impractical strategies (e.g. whole-body cryotherapy). Possible solutions may include the use of practical tools that don’t need specific facilities, the development and validation of new low-cost recovery devices, the promotion of players education regarding recovery strategies, and conducting further research to increase the scientific knowledge in the area.

“…This is evidenced by the significant increase [1,2] in scientific publications during the last 10 years as teams look to find a competitive edge during competitions. Different protocols describe specific recovery methodologies that can be employed in order to achieve more efficient recovery processes, these include (1) recovery strategies [2,3] -foam roll [4,5], massage [6], compression garments [7,8], stretching [9], nutrition [10], active recovery [11], sleep [12], water immersion [13], (2) combinations of recovery strategies [14,15], (3) sport-specific recovery characteristics-soccer [16,17], basketball [18,19], volleyball [20], rugby [21], and combat sports [22], and (4) emerging recovery strategies [23]. Additionally, factors, such as recovery time-periods-post-match [16,17] and during congested schedules [24], have also been investigated, with emerging literature examining recovery specific to female athletes [25] and youth athletes [26,27].…”

In the field of sports science, the recovery umbrella is a trending topic, and even more so in the world of elite sports. This is evidenced by the significant increase in scientific publications during the last 10 years as teams look to find a competitive edge. Recovery is recognized to be an integral component to assist athlete preparation in the restoration of physical and psychological function, and subsequently, performance in elite team sports athletes. However, the importance of recovery in team staff members (sports coaches and performance staff) in elite sports appears to be a forgotten element. Given the unrelenting intense nature of daily tasks and responsibilities of team staff members, the elite sports environment can predispose coaches to increased susceptibility to psycho-socio physiological fatigue burden, and negatively affect health, wellbeing, and performance. Therefore, the aim of this opinion was to (1) develop an educational recovery resource for team staff members, (2) identify organizational task-specific fatigue indicators and barriers to recovery and self-care in team staff members, and (3) present recovery implementation strategies to assist team staff members in meeting their organizational functions. It is essential that we do not forget the coaching and performance staff in the recovery process.
