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.
