Did You Know…
Are You Drinking Enough…that’s
water?
Thirst
is never a reliable indicator of an athlete's fluid needs. To be
well hydrated, you must drink before, during and after exercising…and
then drink some more.
If you're drinking enough, you should:
Urinate often
Your urine should be the color of lemonade, not apple juice.
In its mildest form, dehydration makes you feel tired and uncomfortable
and impairs your performance. In severe cases, it can kill you.
Watch for these signs of dehydration:
Dry mouth
GI problems such as nausea, dizziness, confusion, increased weakness
Extreme thirst with no urine output, hallucinations, swollen tongue,
high body temperature.
Fluid Guidelines For Athletes:
Drink extra fluids the day before an event, and shoot for at least
eight 8 oz. glasses.
Drink 16-20 oz. of fluids 2-3 hours before the event.
Drink another 8-16 oz. before the event starts.
During the event, drink every 15 minutes.
After the event, drink more.
Water is the fluid of choice for events under 60 minutes. For longer
events a sports beverage may be a better choice.
Salting food liberally may also be recommended for some athletes.
Drink by schedule, not just when you are thirsty.
Invest in a water bottle with a pop-up top. You may find it easier
to drink more.
