Many athletes are accustomed to consuming complex carbohydrates, such as pasta, during training and before competitions, in order to maintain a constant level of energy throughout the day. Other sources of energy are protein for breakfast, regular exercise and breathing, certain yoga exercises, and herbal supplements, such as vitamins and minerals.

Sometimes, fatigue can be caused by low levels of thyroid hormones, the production of which can be stimulated by vitamins - C, B2, B6, E, zinc, and tyrosine.
