Sports coach Muhammad Al-Kabeer said that fasting leads to weight loss and the percentage of body fat. It can also help improve blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure, which improves General health of athletes.

He believes that fasting may not be compatible with strenuous exercises that require a high level of intensity, especially since when an individual gives up food and drink for long periods, he suffers from a deficiency in protein. But he stresses that this does not mean completely abandoning exercise, which requires great physical effort during the month of Ramadan.
