- Hydration
- all levels of dehydration decrease performance
- as dehydration increases so do the negative effects
- losing 2% of body weight in sweat can cause up to 20% decrease in performance due to:
- decreased heat regulation and increased temperature
- increased blood viscosity
- increased heart rate
- increased fatigue
- Untitled
- the loss of electrolytes (salts and minerals that can conduct electrical impulses) through sweat can also cause fatigue and cramping
- an athlete should be well hydrated prior to training or performance and replace all lost fluids throughout the performance
- For every 1kg of body mass lost during the activity, 1 litre of fluid should be more consumed
- all levels of dehydration decrease performance
