Why do table tennis players eat bananas?

The reasons why table tennis players eat bananas;

1. Supplement potassium to maintain muscle function.

After strenuous exercise, athletes' potassium will be lost with sweat. Eating bananas during intermission can help athletes quickly replenish potassium needed by human body, enhance muscle endurance and make exercise more sustainable.

2, rich in carbohydrates, quickly replenish energy.

Banana is a good fruit to supplement physical strength. A banana can provide 20-30 grams of sugar. Moreover, bananas contain not only monosaccharides and disaccharides, but also starch, which is rich in carbohydrates.

Compared with fat and protein, carbohydrates are more easily absorbed by the human body, which can quickly replenish energy for athletes and prevent the body from feeling tired due to hypoglycemia. Moreover, the digestive burden and metabolic burden of bananas are small.

3, a strong sense of fullness, to prevent hunger on the court.

Banana is a solid food with strong satiety and slow water release. After the athletes finish eating bananas, when the bananas reach their stomachs, the dietary fiber in them will begin to play a role, greatly prolonging the gastric emptying time and allowing athletes to concentrate on participating in the competition.

4. Replenish tryptophan to keep your body excited

Eating bananas can also supplement tryptophan in the body, which is very suitable for athletes in competitions and relieves their fatigue and irritability on the field.

5, convenient to eat, convenient to store and carry

Compared with grapes, kiwifruit and other fruits, bananas are easier to carry and store, and have a long shelf life without refrigeration. Compared with apples, pears and other fruits, bananas can be peeled and eaten directly, which is convenient and fast, and is very suitable for eating when resting on the court.
