Indoor Hockey (by the SA Ladies Team)
Indoor hockey is fast. Relentless. Repeated high intensity.
Between double training days, gym sessions, and match play, proper fuelling isn’t optional... it's essential.
That’s why members of the SPAR South African Women’s Indoor Hockey Team have built RACEFOOD into their routine during both training camps and competition.
Training camps often mean:
- Multiple sessions per day
- High-intensity conditioning
- Limited recovery windows
- Long days on your feet
As SA player Ashleigh Thomas explained:
“I use it as pre-game fuel and pre-training fuel, especially on long training days in camp. FarBar on the long days, and FastBars for shorter high-intensity sessions like gym, conditioning, and 1-1.5 hour sessions.”
It’s a simple but effective strategy: match the fuel to the session.
When they use FarBar.
- Long training days
- Extended on-court sessions
- Sustained energy needs
FarBar provides steady, sustained energy release which makes it ideal ideal when sessions stack up and athletes need to keep the tank topped up over several hours.
When they use FastBar.
- High-intensity gym work
- Conditioning sessions
- Short, sharp hockey blocks
- Pre-match top-ups
FastBar’s quick energy profile makes it a go-to when intensity is high and time is tight.
Racefood is proud to be the Official Sports Nutrition Partner of the SPAR SA Women's Indoor Hockey Team.
