Athletes, Athletics, and Water Consumption

Many people do not comprehend the extent to which dehydration can cause bodily and mental problems for the human body. We have all heard the protestations and proclamations by doctors and well-wishers that we take good care of ourselves and drink more water, but rarely do we heed this advice. Are we foolish? Are self-destructive? Are we uncaring?

While some professionals might be eager to jump at any of these three cynical responses, it would be far more exact to elaborate the human comprehension of dehydration as a photo of naivety and ignorance. Fortunately, if we are only unaware of the dangers of dehydration and the necessity of drinking a adequate whole of water, then it might only take some solid reading and explore to cure us of what ails us.

Water Sports

We should first seek to understand the condition of dehydration as it relates to athletes and sportsman. Many people do not comprehend that when they workout their body consumes and disposes of H2O and at a rate far greater than that of a normal sedentary state. When the metabolism speeds, we are need of more water to replenish and refurbish our normal, high functioning bodies.

Athletes, Athletics, and Water Consumption

There are a whole of problematic behaviors that need correcting for the dehydrated athlete to stay on top of his game and on top of his health; firstly, athletes should be aware that they need to consume water before, during, and after their sport. All too many athletes mistake the feeling of emptiness and hunger that occurs after completion of their chosen sport as a sign that they need to eat.

Surely, all sportsmen should consume food-stuffs following the completion of their sport, but this should only take place after they have consumed an adequate whole of H2O. What is a good whole of water to consume? plainly put- a lot. It is advisable to drink one to one and a half cups of water 30 minutes before exercising; a cup of water for every 20 minutes of exercising; and three to four cups of water following the completion of the athletic activity. While it may seem like an exorbitant amount, it is far greater to over-shoot ones hydration needs than it is to allow ones body to go dehydrated.

What are some signs of dehydration? Light-headedness is perhaps the most definite and apparent signal that an athlete is dehydrated. Some other signs include, nausea, the appearance of spots of light known as "floaters", and a feeling of tiredness. While one can be fairly definite that one is dehydrated if one is experiencing these symptoms, one should not be fooled into mental that the absence of these symptoms is a sign of faultless and adequate hydration. On the contrary, dehydration symptoms only gift themselves far after the body has already become dehydrated. H2O should be consumed throughout the day at a steady pace, and in high quantities before and after exercise to ensure that dehydration does not work on the personel in a serious and perilous way.
