Frequently Asked Questions

How much water should athletes drink?
Athletes should drink their baseline (33 mL/kg bodyweight) plus fluids lost through sweat. During exercise, aim for 400-800 mL per hour depending on intensity. After exercise, drink 150% of weight lost.
How do I know if I am dehydrated?
Signs include dark urine, thirst, dry mouth, headache, and fatigue. During exercise, losing more than 2% bodyweight indicates significant dehydration that impairs performance. Monitor urine color: pale yellow is ideal.
