Taking part in athletics when fasting appears to many like an exhilarating experience. The practise remains manageable for any sportsperson through basic precautionary steps.
Sportspeople encounter severe hydration problems when they exercise intensively in hot weather conditions.
Your body will make adjustments but dehydration develops rapidly creating cramps and digestive problems as symptoms.
The more serious the dehydration, the worse the effect on strength and endurance activities.
It also has an impact on the cardiovascular system: in a warm climate and without any hydration during exercise, the risk of hyperthermia increases, and may lead to heatstroke.
Physical energy depletion through glycogen exhaustion leads to common energy deficiency during exercise.
The hormonal system and blood sugar maintenance directly suffer from this condition.
Exercise-deficiency within the bloodstream causes exhaustion which normally appears during the evening hours.
People perform their iftar dining at sunset while preparing to eat their sahoor before the start of daytime.
This disrupts the sleep/waking cycle. Day by day fatigue effects worsen thus heightening the chances of sustaining injuries.
The main objective during this period should not revolve around performance.
Athletes who participate in competitive sports can resolve this challenge through moving their training segments.
Regular athletes need to decrease session intensity together with less training frequency to boost their recovery period.
The key principle is to pay attention to your body signals so rest could become necessary for several consecutive days.
Before exercising during morning hours consume a small snack which your body can easily digest.
A hearty breakfast consisting of carbohydrates, protein, fats and fruit should make up your final meal. All of that before the sun rises.
Your daily nutritional requirements will be satisfied through this one eating occasion.
Working out in the evening should be limited because excessive muscle protein expansion becomes less effective when glycogen levels are low.
Enough training during evening hours leads to an increased chance of developing tendinitis and torn or pulled muscles.
