Jakarta - Women's volleyball coach, Muhammad Ansori, has a trick to get around the athletes training program during Ramadan. What are the tricks?
Indonesian women's volleyball team is preparing to perform at the 2018 Asian Games in August-September. The exercise program runs during Ramadan. However, the intensity of the exercise is slightly lowered.
"Children stay fast, there is no significant difference for the players, only the volume of the training is reduced a little, but the training program remains 75 percent," said women's volleyball coach Muhammad Ansori told detikSport on Wednesday (23/05/2018).
Ansori explained, the duration of exercise is usually 2.5 hours reduced to 1 hour for morning exercise, then 1.5 hours for afternoon exercise. "Because they all break their fasts in the afternoon," he said.
