How Athletes Can Adapt Their Workouts for Optimal Results
Athletes face a unique challenge during Ramadan when fasting
from dawn to dusk. While ideally they would eat and drink before, during, and
after training, modifications are necessary.
Here's what athletes need to know for efficient training
during Ramadan:
Adjust Intensity and Duration: Workouts should be tailored
to an athlete's reduced calorie and hydration intake, while considering weather
conditions.
Early Bird Workouts: Pre-dawn training can benefit from
pre-fast meals and fluids, but energy and hydration may be limited until iftar.
Pre-Iftar Workouts: Evening sessions allow for immediate
post-workout meals, but recovery may continue overnight.
Post-Iftar Training: Workouts 2-3 hours after breaking the
fast best align with ideal pre-during-post workout nutrition. However, athletes
must prioritize sufficient sleep.
By adapting their training routines, athletes can maintain peak performance throughout Ramadan.
