It is recommended to drink 500 ml of a glucose drink half an hour before training. Why?
Many people do not drink enough water on a daily basis, which can cause temporary headaches when training intensively. Also, vibration training causes the blood glucose level to drop rapidly and as we are in a nation with bad eating habits, blood glucose levels are often low before exercise begins. If levels were to drop too much, it may lead to hypoglycaemia. This is why it is strongly advised to drink a glucose drink before training. It should be noted though that this is the case with any type of intensive training – not just an occurrence related to vibration training.
