Here is what we recommend for foods:

You should know that the professional players have a whole team that follows them during their season (a coach, a physical trainer, mental, etc.), we will be interested in this column to the nutritionist, the head of nutrition of the player whose he deals.

IF you want to get serious about Padel or in any other sport, it is advisable to go to a professional to take care of your diet.

  1. Chewy

To play a game of Padel, you will need energy, and therefore slow sugar. Most of this energy comes from carbohydrates, which are very present in pasta.

In addition, pasta is not a problem for digestion, and you will have less sense of heaviness in the field than with other foods. In addition, it is advisable to eat about three hours before a match for the digestion is well done, and you can have the maximum energy during your game.

  1. Caffeine

The other recommended food is to take before a caffeine match, the most easily consumed by coffee of course.

Caffeine will help your metabolism in increasing energy production, and in concentration during your match.

However, you should not drink too much otherwise you will have the opposite effects during your game. We recommend that you do not take more than 200 mg of caffeine per day.

  1. The banana

Considered one of the best fruits to consume during a match, it is a food that will bring you energy every moment. What makes this fruit so important for an athlete is its concentration of magnesium to prevent players from having cramps especially in the third set.

We recommend eating half of the banana during the first set. The second half will be consumed throughout the second and / or third set to avoid any sugar peak during your match.
