Protein, which can be found in red meat, turkey, tuna, and fish is present in every cell in the body. Muscles are primarily composed of protein and when they are injured, it is protein which helps them to heal. Protein is also needed to nourish the skin, fingernails, bones and liver. An every day diet constructed with these percentages in mind will provide you with a balanced, high energy nutritional program which translates into more energy on the court. In addition to the food you eat, what you drink is also extremely important.
Water is the most often recommended fluid for athletes.
If our muscles are not well hydrated they will feel weak and tired and eventually stop working. This is not an easy question to answer because the body does not accurately put out signals announcing its need for water. Unfortunately, by this time we will have already noticed a decrease in energy as fatigue has begun to set in. You should begin your match well-hydrated and continue to give your body water throughout the match. Even if you are not thirsty, drink.
