During Ramadan, specialists and sports experts recommend two optimal times for exercise. The first is an hour to an hour and a half before breakfast, allowing for sports activity to end near breakfast time to replenish the body with fluids, mineral salts, and lost energy. This time frame also provides a chance for the body to recover before breaking the fast.
The second recommended time is three to four hours after breakfast, when the body has completed the digestion process without facing indigestion issues. At this point, the body is better able to handle physical activity without any adverse effects.
It’s essential to consider age and health condition when choosing an exercise period during Ramadan. Elderly individuals and those with specific health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease should avoid exercising altogether as their bodies may be exhausted and dehydrated by the end of the fasting day. However, young and healthy individuals can safely participate in moderate climates away from extreme heat or humidity. It’s important to exercise indoors with good ventilation and air conditioning to prevent heat-related issues, dehydration, and sunstroke.
Exercise sessions should be kept short and intense – no more than an hour – with a moderate level of intensity such as walking, jogging or cycling. It’s crucial to avoid extreme fatigue and ensure proper hydration and energy replenishment after exercising. Above all else, it’s important to prioritize comfort and well-being while exercising during Ramadan.
In summary, during Ramadan it is recommended that individuals exercise either an hour before or three hours after breakfast for optimal results. It’s essential to take into account age and health condition while choosing an exercise period and ensure that exercise sessions are kept short
