Always finish a workout with light cardiovascular or callisthenic cool down 5-10 minutes.
Within 30 minutes of completion of workout make sure to get in a recovery meal or shake with balance of protein, fat, and antioxidants. A simple portable recovery drink perfect for the picky young athlete is a portable chocolate milk.
For the exact recommended recovery drink use the below formulas:
Calories= 1.45 kcal x weight in lbs
Whey Protein = 0.09 g x weight in lbs
Leucine = 0.012 g x weight in lbs
Glutamine = 0.02 g x weight in lbs
Vitamin C = 0.7 mg x weight in lbs
Vitamin E = 2.35 IU x weight in lbs
*Gatorade mixed with whey protein is approximately equal to the above formula.
