New data released today from the match-funding technology platform Givematch has revealed that almost half (48%) of British Muslims will exercise less during the month of Ramadan - and 14% will stop exercising altogether.
However, 11% of those observing Ramadan expect to exercise more, with over a fifth of those surveyed (22%) saying they see the month as a great time to focus on fitness goals.
The data also pointed to a shift in routine for many Muslims, with 19% of respondents saying they will exercise at night during the month.
