Purpose of half-time (recovery, preparation, transition)
Overview of strategies employed in half-time (kit change, interaction with coach/players, injury management, body temperature maintenance, nutrition, hydration etc
Core temperature / muscle temperature at half time and relevance to performance in 2nd half
Hydro-nutritional strategies (muscle glycogen, blood glucose, fluid balance, sports drinks, mouth rinsing, gels, caffeine etc)
