Abstract

This article focuses on research from Grasse, France, addressing the challenges faced by Muslim athletes who train and compete while fasting during Ramadan, a month of daytime abstinence from food and liquids. The study provides practical recommendations for optimizing training schedules and competition participation, emphasizing individualized adjustments to prevent hypoglycemia, hypohydration, and muscle injuries. It highlights the importance of managing hydration, body cooling, and psychological support, especially in non-Muslim majority countries where sports events may not accommodate fasting. These guidelines aim to help athletes and their support teams maintain performance and health during Ramadan fasting. [Extracted from the article]
