Hydration - Our bodies are about 60% water. - Hydrate before, during, and after practices/games. - Dehydration leads to decreased muscle strength, speed, stamina, energy levels, lack of concentration, decreased joint lubrication, and increased risk of energy. - Proper hydration is important for injury prevention: less susceptible to muscle pulls, tears, and strains and less susceptible to heat related illnesses. - Thirst is a useful indicator of daily fluid requirements, but unfortunately it’s not fully reliable since the body is already slightly dehydrated by the time you notice thirst
Other Facts about hydration: - Dehydration results in dry skin and wrinkles - A modest level of dehydration can result in about a 20% decrease in performance level in temperate climates and up to a 40% decrease in hot temperatures - Dehydration can degrade specific aspects of cognitive performance including visual vigilance, tension, anxiety, fatigue and visual working memory
Signs of Dehydration: - Dizziness or light headed feeling - Nausea or vomiting - Muscle cramps - Dry mouth - Lack of sweating - Hard, fast heartbeat
