Enhancing performance is when there is an improvement made in performance, often related to physical activity

Enhancing Performance

Mental Health and Stability

Being mentally well is a major part of our everyday lives. It allows for us to be active and find enjoyment in activities such as sports. When we are mentally unwell, we often struggle to find motivation to do even the simplest tasks. It is important as an athlete to take time to oneself to fully relax and have downtime. When you are constantly on the go training and following strict dieting rules, you can easily get caught up in it and loose focus. By taking wellness days and recharging yourself, you are helping not only yourself as a person but your overall ability in the sport as well.

Fitness

Strength training is again self explanatory. It essentially creates muscle contractions which increases your overall strength.

There are several types of training that could take place to increase an athletes stamina. In order to ensure that the training fits accordingly to the needs of the athlete, it needs to be decided on what the main factor is, i.e strength, agility, etc. There are two examples of fitness training

Balance training is a type of training that is pretty self explanatory. It focuses on ones balance and teaches certain muscle groups to engage to increase stability. The main thing balance training is used to is engaging the core muscles and strengthening them.

Drugs and Supplements

One well known way that athletes can excel in their sport is though drug use. Often times, if not always used illegally, these drugs can be highly addicting and affects of them can be very temporary resulting in higher dosages. There are several different types of drugs and supplements used but the most well known type is steroids. They are used to increase strength and muscle mass.

Nutrition

On top of a proper diet, it is important that an athlete is staying hydrated. As learned earlier, there is such thing as too little water, but there is also such thing as too much. It is very important that the balance is found and kept to ensure the athlete is always properly hydrated.

Ensuring that the diet is fulfilling the needs of the athlete. The body needs fuel to be able to function at its full ability. By creating meals that are based off of what the athlete needs and what will help the athlete overall can be very sufficient and show great results.
