Without knowing what kind of contact sport you are doing (although I wonder from the tag if you play rugby?).
Submitted 10 weeks 15 hours ago by fitbiztrainingI'd say you should take a day or twos rest the day after the game, maybe do a little flexibility training if you feel stiff. Then perhaps do a day of low intensity core work and flexibility session. I'm sure you do already do core work, but I don't think you can ever have a strong enough core when doing contact sports!
I'd suggest days 3 and 4 (or 4 and 5 depending on how many days you had off) would be something like a 20 minute constant pace easy run (RPE about 14 max), again followed by some low intensity core work and flexibility training.
I'd have thought this should be part of your periodised training program anyway, so after a game you always follow something similar to the above, then you get back on with building back up towards the next game.
Best of luck!
