Hydration, Dehydration, and Performance: A Literature Review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.52383/itfcoaching.v19i53.549Keywords:
Hydration, Recovery, Sodium, Cramp, Sports drinksAbstract
Hydration at any level of competitive sport is crucial to optimal performance and recovery. The present article outlines how dehydration can affect bodily functioning and presents research outlining preferable hydration strategies and techniques. Practical applications include how to measure dehydration levels, and what appropriate fluids are available for consumption to optimise performance and recovery.
