[:en]To be a high-performance athlete, a good training and nutrition program is essential. Polo players require a lot of physical and psychological demands.
Their workouts should take into consideration strengthening the body, with the full range of movements they make to hit the ball and the balance needed to do it all while galloping on the horse at full speed.
The polo player requires strengthening training in the middle area, as well as leg muscle to support the gallop and jumps. Additionally, they need to work on their shoulder and arm strength and endurance to be able to hold the polo mallet throughout the game and be able to swing it with enough force to hit the ball and score goals. Finally, they should complete your training routine with aerobic exercises, to be able to support their weight for long periods of time.
You’ll see, polo requires a full body workout!
As expected, it is essential to accompany these intense workouts with a good diet.
The polo player needs a diet rich in protein, especially on the most demanding days. On the other hand, carbohydrates are necessary when doing aerobic exercises. In addition, if the training sessions are carried out in summer or in high temperatures like now, it is essential to maintain a good level of hydration throughout the day.
