Ramadan Mubarak

[RomanReigns]

I suppose your body could acclimatise?

yeah anyone can do it, its just intermittent fasting

the difference is most people doing it are not also doing sport at a high level which is going to have a toll on the human body

I suppose your body could acclimatise?

The science says that over a lengthy period like a months fast specific skills and test with ball with the ball are unimpaired. However, anaerobic performances and long-duration activities may potentially be considerably affected during Ramadan fasting.

I've been having blood tests regularly since 2006 which require me to fast for 12 hours prior.

I can't say it's been any sort of a problem besides missing the pleasure of my morning coffee.

I am allowed a little water, but I've never bothered and never felt any physical discomfort with the whole thing.

Have to say mate, I'm fasting for weight loss 18.00 - 14.00 every day and if anything energy levels increase. I'm sure athletes are allowed to sip fluids during the fasting periods.... I'm sure they will be fine. It's amazing how resilient the human body is. Don't want to be nosey and ask why the tests... But Hope your OK though

It was discovered in 2006 that I'd had a hole in the heart since I was born. I'd had what my doctor called a mini-stroke when
a blood clot was trying to get through it.
I was put onto half an aspirin a day and cholesterol control medication and the six monthly blood tests are to keep a check
on it. A plus was that scans showed that my arteries were in pretty good nick.

I hope this fasting doesn't affect their performance. The whole midfield is a bit worrying.

oh yeah, didn't think of that! all three! but muslim athletes seem to adapt really well to fasting - we never really noticed before clubs started appreciating and highlighting ramadan.

Didn’t seem to affect the Moroccan boys who beat Brazil last night…..mind you the game kicked off at 10pm

OMA (Oh My Allah) @tommye! I am moved by your words! Who knew you'd eventually finally find your soft side?

It's true what they say: 'If the Mountain won't go to Mohammed, then Mohammed must come to the Mountain!'

God bless The Pope

I'm pretty sure that someone on here once said that only the Pope has the power to call an emergency Ramadan? Or something to that effect?

That doesn't include all the sad and obvious alias accounts that he re-registered with and tried to convince us all that he was a new, different and unique poster!

Did anyone keep tabs? What was the last one that he used?
