I was reading recently a lot on Mattspoint Tennis Blog and also came through his Nutrition / Diet / Supplement articles.
I just started to train off court a lot to increase especially my anaerobic performance, which seems really poor.
Matts recommend on drinking electrolyt drinks if you play more than 1 hour and/or sweat a lot (in heat or generally).
I do feel exhausted a lot after tennis sessions and off-court training sessions and feel even though I am young, my regeneration is quite long.
Do you use supplements ?
My basic supplement which I take already quite some time and which are not sport affected:
Omega-3 (every day, except I had fish the same day)
Magnesium
Now I am trying some isotonic/hypotonic electrolyt drink during my sessions (I sweat a ton).
Also bought Zinc and L-Arginin.
Someone uses L-arginin and/or creatine and can report an enhancement in performance on the court?
Which other supplements you take or tried?
I did use Creatine some years ago for my gym sessions, and it definitely had an effect on my strength levels as well as bodyweight (increase of 3-5% of weight, mainly water). But I also had side effects like cramping in nights and my sweat started to smell like **** literally.
