World Cup: Brazil completes first week of training in Australia

After a week of training on the Gold Coast (Australia) for the World Cup, the evaluation of the health department of the Brazilian women’s team is that the team is practically adapted to the 13-hour time difference. “We applied questionnaires with physiology because it is a multidisciplinary work. These assessments are very important because we can understand if there are gastrointestinal symptoms, dizziness and headache. We also have a nutritionist who is helping us a lot and a gynecologist. We are always following up with questionnaires, chat and medication to adjust sleep”, said, this Tuesday (11), the doctor of the Brazilian team, Paula Benayon.

So we make individual adjustments with guidance and training load individualization”. Brazil remains preparing for the World Cup on the Gold Coast until the 18th of July. A day later, the team heads to Brisbane, where they will carry out their last training sessions before their debut in the World Cup, on July 24th against Panama in Adelaide.
