Physical activity makes the body lose large amounts of fluid through sweating.
However, according to research, even moderate dehydration with a loss of only 2% of body weight leads to tiredness, impaired thermoregulation, and low endurance.
To avoid that, stick to some simple recommendations:
- Drink 17 fl oz (0.5 l) of water 2 hours before a workout.
- While exercising, drink sufficient amounts of fluid at regular intervals, focusing on your needs.
How do you figure out how much water your body needs?
Weigh yourself before and after exercising and subtract the second value from the first one. The resulting figure is the approximate amount of fluid you have lost that should be replenished.
