NUTRITION AND HOW IT AFFECTS PERFORMANCE

THE BEST PLAYERS KNOW THERE BODIES AND UNDERSTAND HOW TO FUEL THE CAR SO AS TO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS. THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS HYDRATION BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER PRACTICES AND MATCHES. THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE MISTAKE MADE BY TENNIS PLAYERS YOUNG AND OLD. WATER IS THE CAUSES US TO CRAMP OR FATIGUE DURING PERFORMANCE. THE DIET OF ATHLETES ARE PRIMARILY CARBO’S, WITH BREADS, CEREAL, RICE, AND PASTAS. THE BEST ONES GRAZE ALL DAY LONG TO KEEP THE TANK FULL OF ENERGY. THE GRAZING CONSISTS OF VEGETABLES, FRUITS, NUTS, YOGURT, WITH FATS, AND SWEETS IN MODERATION. THE CARBO-LOAD FOR TENNIS IS NOT LIKE THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNER THAT COMPETES IN JUST ONE EVENT. THE TENNIS EVENT IS A WEEK IN LENGTH WITH 2 MATCHES PLAYED PER DAY IF THE PLAYER IS IN DOUBLES. THIS KIND OF COMPETITION PHASE REQUIRES CONSTANT MANAGEMENT OF FLUIDS, AND FOOD TO MAINTAIN POSITIVE RESULTS. THE ATHLETIC HAS PROTEIN IN THE FORM OF FISH, POULTRY, DRY BEANS, EGGS, DAILY TO COMPLIMENT HIS HIGH CARBO DIET. THE IMPORTANT THING IS A RITUAL OR ROUTINE EACH MATCH AND AFTER EACH MATCHES SO AS TO NOT RUN OUT OF ENERGY. EACH INDIVIDUAL PLAYER IS DIFFERENT AND NEEDS HIS OWN GAUGE ON HIS BODY.
