Berlin (ots) – Regardless of whether it is professional or amateur football – a game lasts 90 minutes and if you want to achieve your full performance, you not only need intensive training, but also the optimal diet. In order to make footballers more efficient in training and games and less susceptible to injuries, Stephan Berg and Felix von Zabiensky have put football nutrition on a scientific basis with MATCHDAY NUTRITION®.

You can find out here what their nutritional supplements are and why they are making a lasting difference to football.

Most soccer players are aware that their performance is linked to their diet. But especially in the amateur sector, where there is little support from sports doctors and nutritionists, players stick to old habits that have long since proven to be ineffective. But if you continue to rely on bananas, energy drinks and glucose, you will have to expect a loss of energy, muscle weakness and rapid fatigue. “The problem is that bananas, energy drinks and glucose only provide a short-term kick, which is then followed by a regular drop in performance,” says Stephan Berg, Managing Director of MATCHDAY NUTRITION®. “As a result, not only does the ability to concentrate decrease rapidly during the game, but poor nutrition also increases the risk of injury.”

“Decreases in performance, muscle fatigue and poor concentration can be avoided by using nutritional supplements designed for the specific conditions of a football game. “It’s also about understanding football nutrition holistically in order to achieve better results during training and enable faster regeneration,” adds his business partner Felix von Zabiensky. With MATCHDAY NUTRITION®, the two of them provide a product range that is suitable as a football booster for professionals and amateurs alike, covers all phases of training and ensures that footballers can maintain their performance over 90 minutes. To ensure that their nutritional supplements are precisely tailored to the requirements of football, Stephan Berg and Felix von Zabiensky work closely with nutritionists and sports medicine experts during development and rely on ingredients whose effectiveness has been proven in studies. MATCHDAY NUTRITION® stands for a break with the wrong habits that prevent footballers from bringing their full performance onto the pitch.

Professionals from the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga rely on MATCHDAY NUTRITION®

More than 60,000 footballers have already decided on long-term use of MATCHDAY NUTRITION® products, including professionals from the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga. “We receive a lot of feedback that confirms that we offer exactly what players have been wanting for a long time,” says Stephan Berg. “They report a real boost in performance on the pitch, but also faster regeneration, which enables more effective training.”

The fact that the products are well received is partly due to the ingredients, the composition and dosage of which are tailored precisely to what the player needs at a specific time. On the other hand, the footballers also impress with their suitability for everyday use. “Of course we could also pursue our mission with coaching that incorporates the ingredients into complex nutritional plans, but that would mean reaching significantly fewer players,” explains Felix von Zabiensky. “For this reason, we chose powders, capsules and bars that are much more suited to the practical needs of footballers.”

At MATCHDAY NUTRITION® there is a suitable product for every situation

The holistic approach of MATCHDAY NUTRITION® means that products have been developed that are suitable for specific areas of application. For example, BOOST is recommended to be taken shortly before training or a game as it brings more strength, explosiveness and endurance. The effect lasts over a long period of time because the simple sugar has been replaced by isomaltulose. Just the classic energy drinks, bananas and glucose with their short-term effects are far more effective. The BOOST Energy Edition offers a special kick for the game, with its high caffeine content ensuring sustained concentration.

REFUEL, on the other hand, should be used immediately after training or a game to provide the body with quickly available carbohydrates, highly functional amino acids and important B vitamins. The footballer’s memory is immediately replenished, which significantly shortens the regeneration time. Another popular product from MATCHDAY NUTRITION® is STRONG, which comes in capsule form. STRONG is used to prevent injuries to muscles, joints and ligaments – initial progress can be noticed after just four to eight weeks – and also ensures faster regeneration after injuries. The lasting protection is made possible by ingredients such as turmeric, frankincense and pine bark extract. The preparation also contains calcium, boron and manganese and important vitamins such as D3 and K2. “Since we take care of all phases of training and games with our products, the players can of course also count on synergy effects,” emphasizes Stephan Berg. “We have set out to address football nutrition as a whole and in doing so we can change it sustainably.”

70 percent of performance depends on nutrition

Initiating this change was already important to Stephan Berg when he was part of the A-youth coaching staff at 1. FC Union Berlin e. V. War. He studied communication management with a focus on sport and also completed training as a qualified nutrition coach. His four years working for foodspring GmbH strengthened his desire to break with old habits when it comes to nutrition in football and at the same time enabled him to build up extensive expertise in nutritional supplements and performance optimization. This is how the idea for MATCHDAY NUTRITION® came about, which he founded together with the marketing expert Felix von Zabiensky. The two would like to comprehensively renew football nutrition and thus provide a scientific basis for amateur football as well. It’s time for footballers to understand that their diet accounts for around 70 percent of their performance on the pitch.
