A Guide to Sports and Exercise

Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims, involving fasting from sunrise to sunset. While abstaining from food and drink presents challenges, many people still participate in sports and exercise during this time. Here's a breakdown of key points to consider:

 

Is Playing Sports During Ramadan Okay?

 

Generally, yes! Light to moderate exercise is considered safe for healthy individuals observing the fast. However, some factors influence what's appropriate:

 

Intensity: High-intensity workouts can lead to dehydration and fatigue. Opt for lighter activities like walking, swimming, or yoga.

 

Timing: The best times to exercise are before dawn (during Suhoor) or a few hours after sunset (after Iftar). Avoid exercising immediately after breaking fast, as your body prioritizes digestion.

 

Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to your energy levels. If you feel excessively tired or dizzy, rest instead of pushing yourself.

 

Tips for Staying Active During Ramadan

 

Adjust Your Routine: If you typically engage in intense workouts, reduce the intensity or duration during Ramadan.

 

Stay Hydrated: While you can't drink during the day, focus on proper hydration during Suhoor and Iftar. Consume water-rich foods like fruits and vegetables.

 

Prioritize Sleep: Ensure adequate sleep throughout Ramadan. Fatigue can be amplified during fasting, so proper rest is crucial for recovery.

 

Fuel Up Wisely: During Suhoor, choose foods that release energy slowly, such as complex carbohydrates, whole grains, and lean protein. At Iftar, prioritize rehydration and easily digestible foods before incorporating heavier meals.

 

Additional Considerations

 

Consult a Doctor: If you have any underlying health conditions, consult your doctor before exercising during Ramadan.

 

Listen to Religious Guidance: If you're unsure whether a specific activity is permissible, consult a religious scholar for guidance.

 

Remember: Ramadan is a time for spiritual reflection and growth. Exercise should complement this journey, focusing on maintaining well-being rather than pushing for peak performance.

The circles related to sports have demanded an inquiry into the various contracts given in the sports sector during the PTI regime and have said that a transparent inquiry should be made into all the contracts given by the Provincial Sports Directorate of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
