👉 Playing fumes refer to the mental and physical exhaustion, irritation, and decreased performance that athletes experience after intense or prolonged physical activity. These fumes manifest as a buildup of lactic acid in the muscles, leading to soreness and fatigue, and can also cause headaches, dizziness, and a general sense of being overwhelmed. As players push their limits, their bodies demand more oxygen and nutrients, which can be temporarily outstripped by the physical exertion, resulting in these unpleasant symptoms. This not only affects their immediate performance but can also impact their recovery and readiness for subsequent activities.
