The Brazilian, Hulk, caught the eye years ago due to his formidable physique, and returned to the top of the headlines recently, after one of his supervising coaches revealed that he had lost 5 kilograms of weight after each match.
After a successful experience in Europe with Porto, and Zenit, Russia, and in the Chinese League with Shanghai Sebg, Hulk returned last January to Brazil, to defend the colors of Atletico Mineiro, who signed a contract with him that extends until the summer of 2022.
Hulk has played two matches so far with Atlético Mineiro, and during this period the coaching staff of the team learned the extraordinary weight of the 34-year-old.
The Brazilian club’s physiotherapist, Roberto Chiari, said in press statements that Hulk loses up to 5 kilograms per match due to sweating.
He explained, “Hulk sweats a lot, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. An athlete who sweats a lot allows his body to get rid of body heat more efficiently.”
Kyari pointed out that Hulk’s condition requires care to provide him with the necessary amount of water or energy drinks intended for athletes after each exercise or match, to compensate for the lost fluids and maintain his hydration, and he said that good hydration allows the lost weight to be regained quickly.
He continued, “Hulk’s condition is fine and there is nothing to worry about. We are monitoring the situation.”
It should be noted that Hulk was part of Brazil’s squad that won the Confederations Cup in 2013.
