What’s the big deal about hydration? The answer: Being dehydrated by as
little as 2 percent of your body weight can begin to increase fatigue,
reduce your athletic performance (mentally and physically), and increase
your risk of heat stress. You’re also more likely to get muscle cramps
during training and racing. On the other hand, when your body is well
hydrated and nourished, you have the capacity to tolerate longer and more
intense exercise.
athleteSome individuals are dehydrated prior to exercising or competing, so
they’re at a disadvantage even before they start. Hot temperatures
accelerate the dehydration process, so fluid requirements are higher in
warmer climates. Typically, 80 percent of our water intake comes from a
variety of beverages and 20 percent comes from foods such as fruits and
vegetables. That’s another reason why it’s important for athletes to not
skip meals.
If you find that you’re dehydrated (see the simple tests below), increase
your daily fluid intake using an assortment of beverages. It’s easier for
your body to absorb fluid if your intake is spread throughout the day than
if you try to gulp down too much at one time. Beverages to keep you well-
hydrated include water (plain or flavored), milk, juice and fruit smoothies.
Certain foods can help keep you hydrated such as fruits and vegetables
which are high in water content. For better absorption, it’s important that
the beverage you choose is cool, as opposed to warm or room temperature.
Recent research has shown that low to moderate amounts of caffeine (less
than 300 mg) do not cause dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. Drinking a
cup of coffee or a few soft drinks is fine, but higher amounts may have a
diuretic effect (they make your body lose water). Alcohol has a sustained
diuretic effect, so it is not recommended to meet hydration needs.
At least four hours before a triathlon or other endurance activity, drink 1
ounce of fluid for every 10 pounds of body weight (or 5-7mL/kg) to start the
event well-hydrated. Don’t experiment with new beverages before or during
a competition; stick with the tried and true.
How do I know if I’m dehydrated?
To measure hydration status, check your urine concentration (indicated by
color) and volume (amount of urine you make). Your urine should be pale
yellow or straw colored. If urine is dark yellow, and there’s not much of
it, chances are you’re dehydrated. (Remember that certain vitamin
supplements and foods may also change the color of your urine.) A reduction
in body weight of at least 2-3 percent of body mass at the end of vigorous
exercise represents a loss of body water that needs to be replaced.
What should I drink during exercise?
If you train at a moderate intensity for less than an hour, water is
sufficient to maintain normal fluid balance. However, if you’re exercising
vigorously, or for longer than an hour, you will benefit from a sports drink
. Why? Sports drinks are formulated to provide three important components:
• Fluid to maintain body water balance
• Electrolytes (particularly sodium and potassium) that help the body
retain fluid and limit urine output. A good sports drink for exercise
lasting longer than two hours should have about 0.5-0.7grams/liter of sodium
and 0.8-2grams/liter of potassium.
• Carbohydrates to provide glucose to both the muscles and brain for
optimal functioning. Sports drinks are formulated with 6-8 percent
carbohydrate to promote fast absorption during activity. During prolonged
exercise ingest about 30-60grams/hour of carbohydrates to maintain muscle
fuel. This can be in the form of sports drink or snacks.
Every athlete is unique in what his/her ideal rate of fluid intake would be
during an endurance event or sport activity. It can depend on many factors
such as your sweat rate, gender, size/weight, speed, temperature, metabolism
, muscle mass, etc. Fluid recommendations during exercise typically range
from 14-27 ounces/hour (0.4 to 0.8 liters/hour), with the lower end of the
spectrum applying to smaller and/or slower individuals, and the higher end
of the spectrum applying to larger and/or faster individuals. Monitor your
thirst and urine output (and weight if possible) to help you adjust the rate
of hydration. Ask a sports nutritionist to help you determine exactly how
much fluid is right for you.
What about after exercise?
Generally you should drink 16-24 oz of fluid for every pound of weight lost
during exercise (450-675mL/lb). Weigh yourself before and after several
workouts to get an idea how much weight you typically lose. This will also
help you adjust your fluid intake before and during workouts to prevent
excessive fluid losses and maintain body water balance. If it’s a really
hot day, you’re likely to lose more fluid in sweat, so adjust upward. Salty
snacks or meals can help replace sodium losses in sweat.
Your muscles will recover more quickly when you take in carbohydrate (and
some protein) after exercise. Carbohydrate is necessary to replace depleted
muscle glycogen (fuel for energy). Carbohydrate intake of 0.5-0.7g per pound
of body weight is recommended during the first 30 minutes after exercise
and again every two hours for 4-6 hours to replace glycogen stores. Protein
provides the amino acids necessary for muscle repair. This can be done
through food or in your rehydration beverage. Focus on carbohydrate foods
with some protein thrown in. Try chocolate milk or flavored yogurt.
What happens if you drink too much?
Drinking too much water can actually lower the concentration of sodium in
our body. When the concentration of sodium in the body is too low, it’s
called hyponatremia. Sodium ensures that body water is evenly distributed to
our tissues, organs and muscles. Hyponatremia often occurs in endurance
events when an athlete overestimates the amount of water he/she needs to
drink during long, intense exercise. Hyponatremia can cause a variety of
symptoms including fatigue, nausea, headache, disorientation, confusion,
swelling, seizures and even death. The stress of competition can result in a
defect in the body’s ability to maintain a balance between salt intake and
fluid output. This results in water overload, which causes organs in the
body to swell and may be fatal.
If you haven’t lost weight after intense prolonged exercise, or you have
actually gained weight, then it’s likely that you have fluid overload from
hyponatremia and need to be seen by a physician ASAP. If your urine is very
lightly colored/clear then you are likely well-hydrated, if not over-
hydrated, and don’t need to drink more. So don’t overdo it.
Salt intake before and during a long-course triathlon can help decrease the
risk of developing hyponatremia, especially in athletes who are “salty
sweaters.” Some athletes may add salt to their sports drink or take salt
supplements during a long endurance race. Try eating salty snacks or foods
such as pretzels, pizza, pickles, tomato juice, canned soups/beans or
whatever works for you. Salt isn’t good for everyone—some people have
medical conditions for which they need to avoid too much salt and other
people are sodium-sensitive. So work with your doctor and/or a sports
nutritionist who can help you personalize a hydration and food strategy to
optimize your performance and recovery.
