Footballer Givanildo Vieira de Sousa, who is popular by the name Hulk, recently showed that he lost almost 6 Kg in less than 2 hours. How come?
At 36 years old, Hulk is currently playing competitive football with Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro.
The footballer, who has 11 goals in 49 appearances for the Brazilian national team, is still able to show off his teeth, most recently by scoring the winning goal for his team in a 2-1 victory at Tombense headquarters at the weekend.
Well, story Hulk losing weight is also closely related to the match. To be precise, after the match at the Estadio Soares de Azevedo in Muriae, Minas Gerais, it was over.
As reported GiveMeSport, the match was played at 11 o’clock local time. Allegedly, the game time before noon was deliberately chosen in order to avoid the scorching sun during the day.
However, the temperature when this match was played remained at 30 degrees Celsius. Not only enough to make the footballers who play drenched in sweat but also make Hulk lose weight.
In a post on social media, Hulk shows his weight before and after playing the fight. Before the kick-off his weight was 97.6 kg and after the match it was 91.9 kg.
That means, Hulk lost up to 5.7 kg of body weight in about 90 minutes, aka 2×45 match time!
Globo Esport said, the dehydration factor of competing during the day is the main reason Hulk can lose weight quite drastically. Especially towards the end of the match, the pouring rain on the field made the conditions even more difficult for the players.
In the last 12 months, this is not the only time I have lost weight Hulk down after the game. Last July, his weight changed from 97 kg to 91 kg after the big match against Flamengo at the Maracana.
