If I ran a marathon, I would feel fatigued, and depleted. My shins would agonize, my lungs would suffer to inhale, feeling the labor of breathing and my legs would be heavily pulled down by gravity.
Fatigue! Who can know more about it than an elite tennis player! After extensive training for Grand Slam or Olympics and a full day of games, what could Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer feel, fatigue, excessive heat, dehydration, cramping and exhaustion.
Not only fatigue, exhaustion and pain but damaged muscles, dislocated joints, broken bones and ton ligaments and sore body rip your core after the night of fighting if you are an pro fighter! The pain is dull and swollen bruises shoot the pain that’s hard to swallow.
