Nicol welcomed the “Gatorade Sweat Test”, which was conducted on her at the National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil yesterday.
Nicol said that she appreciated the benefits of the test and how it could help her improve on her performance.
“As a professional athlete, I always want to find the extra advantage that can help me perform better,’’ she said.
“With the experience, I believe that the sweat test will help me understand the effects of hydration on my performance. Proper intake of fluids plays a large part in maintaining optimum physical fitness.
“Reaching the world number one spot was never easy. However, maintaining that position sometimes can be a lot harder but with this new hydration plan, I believe it will give me an added edge for my competitions next year.” _________________ eat sQuash!
