Hydration in Sport | Spotlight Sports Solutions Study Group

Описание: Hydration impacts everything from basic health to peak performance—and yet, it’s often overlooked or oversimplified. In this week’s Spotlight Sports Solutions Study Group, we examine hydration through the lens of both everyday wellness and athletic performance, highlighting how fluid choices and strategies can dramatically affect outcomes.

We’ll discuss how to monitor hydration status, the role of different beverages beyond water, and how athletes can tailor hydration to their individual needs, training demands, and competition environment.

✅ Hydration for health vs hydration for performance
✅ Monitoring hydration status (urine color, body weight changes, thirst cues)
✅ Beverage options: water, sports drinks, coffee, tea, juice, milk, soda, and more
✅ Risks of underhydration (performance decline, injury, heat illness)
✅ Risks of overhydration and hyponatremia

💬 Topics Covered:

Physiological roles of hydration in recovery, temperature regulation, and performance

When plain water is enough vs when electrolyte replacement is needed

Evidence-based use of sports drinks during prolonged/intense activity

The impact of caffeine-containing beverages like coffee and tea on hydration

Practical hydration planning for training, competition, and travel
