During the winter period, the challenges of flu season become unavoidable. For footballers, maintaining peak performance at this time is essential, and fans can take a page from their playbook to stay match-fit throughout the colder months.
Your respiratory health plays a pivotal role in fighting off illness. When combined with good nutrition, hydration and regular exercise, techniques like resistance breathing can strengthen your lung function and keep you resilient.
Fans, just like players, need to focus on preparation - whether that’s layering up for matchdays or managing stress to avoid overstimulation, which weakens the immune system.
Tools designed to support respiratory recovery, like those used in elite settings, offer an additional way to tackle cold and flu symptoms. As the fixtures pile up, make sure your health keeps pace with the action.
Richard Collinge, West Ham United Performance Director, says: “For our players, staying healthy during winter is just as important as their training schedule. Respiratory recovery tools, like WellO2, provide an edge in keeping our squad fit and ready through the busiest part of the season.”
Winter wellness isn’t just for athletes; it’s something we can all strive for. By incorporating tools to strengthen respiratory health into your routine, you can better equip yourself to handle the demands of the season.
West Ham United is proud to partner with WellO2, our official respiratory supplier, supporting players and fans alike in their fight against flu season.
