Why Protein Is Make Or (Tie)Break For Tennis Players
We all need protein in our diets. Fact. It's an essential nutrient that our bodies need for the growth, repair, and maintenance of muscles. That's why it's so important for athletes and fitness fanatics alike to get plenty of protein on board to fuel their physical activities. Tennis players, in particular, need plenty of protein to build and maintain the lean muscle mass and fast-twitch muscle fibres needed for speed and power on the court.
So Where's The Best Place To Get Your Protein For Grand Slam Performance?
It really depends on your lifestyle. Many animal products like meat, fish, and dairy are great sources of protein, but there are also plenty of meat-free sources that are just as beneficial if you’re plant-based. These include beans, lentils, nuts, seeds and whole grains. It's a matter of what feels right for you. Although, it can be challenging for tennis players to get enough protein through whole foods alone, especially on a vegan or vegetarian diet.
This is where HERMOSA protein powder makes the perfect doubles partner. Our supplements provide a convenient and easily-digestible source of protein that can be lobbed into smoothies, porridge and countless other meals and snacks. With high-quality vegan and whey options available, HERMOSA protein powders are a healthy and sustainable choice for tennis players who love to max out their nutrition and performance.
How Much Protein Should Tennis Players Serve?
Tennis players need more protein than the average person. That's because of the sheer amount of physical activity involved in covering every inch of the court and the stress that this puts on the body. Like all athletes, tennis players need protein to repair and rebuild damaged muscle tissue, support the immune system, and provide energy for training and matches. The amount of protein needed varies, depending on your training goals.
For example, let's say you're looking to increase muscle mass to put more power into your serve or ground strokes. In that case, you'll need more protein than someone who just wants to maintain muscle mass and recover from their tennis training. Just like a great serve, timing is key too. Chowing down on a protein-rich meal or snack within 30 minutes of a match or training session can help you bounce back quicker than an overhead smash.
This is where HERMOSA Protein Powder can be the ace up your sleeve if you want to optimise your recovery and performance while playing tennis.

How To Ace a High-Protein Diet With HERMOSA
Tennis players can easily add HERMOSA protein powder into their lifestyle by adding it to their smoothies, porridge or protein pancakes. In fact, we've written a whole other blog on the subject if you fancy 10 High-Protein Vegan Recipes to Fuel Your Workout. Or you can shake up your protein game by mixing HERMOSA with a dairy or plant-based milk or good old-fashioned H20 for a quick, easy post-workout shake that always hits the spot.
But why wait until after your workout? Especially when you consider that it's important for tennis players to get enough protein into their diet throughout the whole day, rather than just one or two meals, to support muscle recovery and growth. It's also a good idea to combine your protein servings with complex carbohydrates to replenish your glycogen stores, support muscle repair, and smash your training and match-day goals.
