Drops in performance in the second half and increased susceptibility to injury: challenges that footballers are regularly faced with – especially in the amateur sector, where comprehensive nutritional support is often lacking. Stephan Berg and Felix von Zabiensky, managing directors of MATCHDAY NUTRITION®, offer a scientifically based product range that helps footballers maintain consistent performance over 90 minutes, prevent injuries and regenerate faster. You can find out what this is all about here.
Footballers are increasingly aware of the importance of nutrition for their performance. However, many of them, especially amateur athletes, resort to outdated nutritional habits that do not meet the demands of intensive training and play. On the one hand, they want to keep their performance constant over 90 minutes, regenerate more quickly and avoid injuries. However, the lack of professional nutritional advice and the temptation of short-term energy boosts through bananas, energy drinks and glucose make it difficult for them to achieve these goals. “In fact, it’s like this: Anyone who continues to rely on short-term energy suppliers not only risks a rapid decline in performance during the game,” reveals Stephan Berg, Managing Director of MATCHDAY NUTRITION®. “Without the right diet, the risk of injuries increases significantly.”
“With a scientifically based diet that is tailored precisely to the needs of footballers, they can maintain their performance throughout the entire game and avoid injuries,” adds his business partner Felix von Zabiensky. Stephan Berg, who was able to gain extensive experience as part of the A-youth coaching staff of 1. FC Union Berlin and in his role as a qualified nutrition coach, recognized the deficiencies in football nutrition early on. Together with Felix von Zabiensky, he founded MATCHDAY NUTRITION® and developed products that help both professionals and amateurs to eat optimally. Through the targeted support of the players, they were able to shorten their regeneration times, improve their ability to concentrate and overall act more consistently on the pitch.
Nutrition as a basis for performance and health: Why footballers should definitely deal with it
“Diet accounts for around 70 percent of a footballer’s performance,” explains Stephan Berg. This connection is often underestimated, although it has a decisive influence on how consistently footballers can perform throughout the entire game. A balanced diet not only provides the body with the energy it needs, but also supports regeneration, promotes the ability to concentrate and reduces the risk of injury.
Particularly during intensive competition, the body is exposed to high levels of stress, which can be exacerbated by poor nutrition. Short-term energy suppliers such as glucose or energy drinks only cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels – followed by an equally rapid drop in performance. A long-term increase in performance, however, requires a well-thought-out diet that is tailored to the training. “Only footballers who optimize their diet create the basis for sustained top performance on the pitch and at the same time protect their health from unnecessary stress,” emphasizes Felix von Zabiensky.
Wide product range for every need: This is what MATCHDAY NUTRITION® offers
“Our product range covers all phases of training and provides targeted support for footballers – before, during and after the game,” says Stephan Berg. The MATCHDAY NUTRITION® range is designed to cover the specific needs of footballers – from preparation to regeneration. The BOOST, for example, ensures the optimal start to training or a game. It stabilizes blood sugar levels through the use of the carbohydrate isomaltulose, thus enabling a long-lasting energy supply. It also contains the two ingredients beta-alanine and creatine – these ensure delayed lactate formation and promote ATP production in the body. ATP, the most important energy supplier in the body, helps, for example, with fast, explosive sprints on the soccer field! The BOOST Energy Edition also contains caffeine to ensure the ability to concentrate throughout the entire game.
After a game or training, REFUEL is ideal for quickly replenishing depleted energy stores and promoting regeneration with amino acids and important vitamins. STRONG is also used to prevent injuries and support regeneration. It uses turmeric and frankincense extract to alleviate muscular and joint-related problems. “Thanks to our holistic approach, we can give footballers decisive advantages in every phase of their training,” summarizes Felix von Zabiensky.
