Most endurance athletes are deficient in critical nutrients because of daily stress and their vigorous training program. If you train hard, you may want to consider adding supplements to your daily routine for additional support. Certain combinations of nutrients can even help maintain or increase your endurance levels.
Here's an example of how endurance levels can affect your game, even if you don't consider yourself an endurance athlete.
THE DISTANCE: A regulation 18-hole golf course should be between 6,200 and 7,000 yards. That’s anywhere from 3.5 to 4 miles! Sure, you may have the help of a cart, but walking boasts a number of health benefits. Keep your energy up by improving your endurance.
