Protocol for Preparing for Competitions in Different Time Zones

The pandemic affected all branches of the country’s economy, all categories of services, but also performance sports. With it, competitions appeared postponed without a precise date or even totally canceled. In performance sports, a major role was played by the uncertainty of the biggest competition in an athlete’s life, the Tokyo competition.

It was a great challenge for the coach to organize his training periods, so as to bring the athletes in the best shape, but also for the doctors and the medical staff to work on an adequate recovery, to support the physical effort through the most well-rated supplements, always adapting to changes and not least for athletes to resist physically and mentally and to find the motivation to continue the routine to achieve their goal, that of reaching Tokyo.
