As part of our nutrition special, we'll be giving you important tips over the next few weeks on how ideal nutrition BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER a tennis match or training session. This will help you give your best on the court every time. And that includes more than just technique, tactics, and athleticism. As soon as your body, the engine of all activity, isn't supplied with the right "fuel" and therefore doesn't get going properly, falters, or even comes to a standstill, it's simply: Game over! We've all experienced that at some point. To prevent this frustrating and often painful "breakdown," good preparation in terms of nutrient supply is key. That's precisely why we've teamed up with Orthomol to compile some nutritional tips and a great recipe for each phase. And yes, we'll also be giving you product recommendations, because you don't always have the time or inclination to cook for yourself and therefore often and rightly turn to a high-quality nutritional supplement. Whatever suits you best. The main thing is to achieve the most important goal: to start the match or training session in TOP condition!
This question isn't just on the minds of tennis players. While some prefer to eat on an empty stomach in the morning, others recommend a small meal beforehand. The bottom line is: everyone should eat before exercising in a way that makes them feel good.
Depending on the type of sport, its intensity, and the level of exertion, the need for minerals and vitamins increase. Vitamins and minerals play a crucial role in energy metabolism, among other things, which is why an adequate supply of these micronutrients should be ensured. It is possible, and sometimes even necessary, to "refuel" with important nutrients before exercising. Experts recommend such as bananas or energy bars a few hours before training
Orthomol Sport prepare is a bar that contains everything you need to get your body ready and well-nourished before exercise. Foods very high in fat, protein, and fiber should be avoided immediately before exercise, as they can be difficult to digest. What about fluid intake before exercise?
The Federal Centre for Nutrition (BZFE) recommends drinking approximately 300-500 ml of fluids 1-2 hours before exercise – divided into small portions. Suitable options include mineral water, drinks containing carbohydrates, electrolytes, and essential nutrients.
