5 Keys to Improve Your Sports Performance
That you have to eat well, drink water and train is obvious and it is no use repeating it to you. Here are some other ways you can enhance your skill in the sport of your choice.
- Choose the time of your meals based on your exercise routine: you must leave at least 3 hours from your last meal until you exercise and thus your digestion will not intervene in your performance.
- Look for a motivational anchor: this refers to something else, indirect to exercise, that makes you want to go and focus on your routine: it can be another person to train with, albums or podcasts that you would like to listen to while you exercise, etc.
- Set long, medium and short-term goals: with clear, realistic goals that satisfy you, you can work towards seeing those results and getting that extra boost
- Compare training with rest: Rest and activity must be proportional, the muscles need to regenerate, as well as blood and oxygen levels. Intense sport requires 10 to 13 hours and moderate 8.
- Know your genetics: taking a sports genetics test will give you a solid context about what sport to do and how to do it better according to your bodily predisposition and have advantages to succeed in it
