        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Midfielders, particularly those in high-press systems, are the players most likely to enter the second half with meaningfully depleted glycogen. They are also the ones most likely to see performance drop in the final twenty minutes if fuelling has been inadequate."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Post-match recovery nutrition is often treated as uniform across a squad. The logic of consuming protein and carbohydrate within a reasonable window after the final whistle applies to everyone, but the scale of glycogen depletion varies considerably."

      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Treat fuelling as part of your preparation, not an afterthought. The science only helps when it is applied consistently: plan around your training and competition, fuel before you feel you need to, and review what works for you over time. Science in Sport products are designed to make evidence-based fuelling simple to get right, so you arrive prepared and perform with confidence."
