Hello, sweeties. I'm not exactly a sporty girl, but a tweet my friend made the other day got me thinking about how athletes maintain their stamina during the fasting month.
From this article, sport during fasting seems doable if assisted by nutritionists (big meals after dark, protein shake before dawn). This article mentions about a high school football team in Michigan, the U.S, that changes its schedule during Ramadan to accommodate the Muslim players.
Then there is another issue. The 2012 Olympic Games that will fall between July 27 and August 12, which means that it will take place during nest year's Ramadan (estimated to fall on July 21-August 21, 2012). With the scorching sun of London summer, I do hope the fasting athletes achieve their best.
If you are observing Ramadan, do you do sport activities? How do you stay fit?
