This book reveals that even mild dehydration can significantly impair physical and cognitive functions, impacting an athlete's ability to perform their best.
Individualized hydration strategies are key, as generic advice can be ineffective or even harmful, potentially leading to issues like hyponatremia.
The book begins with the basic physiology of electrolytes like sodium and their role in fluid balance and muscle function.
It then examines how dehydration impacts athletic performance.
Uniquely, Hydration Science integrates the latest research with practical advice, empowering athletes and coaches to develop personalized plans based on scientific principles.
Readers will discover how to assess their hydration status, calculate fluid needs based on sweat rate, and optimize electrolyte intake for diverse sports and conditions.
The book progresses by dissecting the timing of fluid consumption, pre-, during, and post-exercise, to maximize absorption and minimize gastrointestinal distress.
By offering actionable strategies and addressing common misconceptions, Hydration Science provides essential knowledge for optimizing athletic performance through tailored hydration practices.
