Hydration Status
Simple Check Up
Hydration is the most over-rated topic in sports nutrition. Education is instrumental to preventing dehydration and combining education with fluid that is accessible to athletes make hydration easier to achieve. In reality, however, knowledge does not equal behavior. The most well-educated athlete, with fluid available, may become dehydrated because athletes underestimate their sweat loss and do not voluntary consume enough fluid.
For some athletes, hydration testing is conducted using a research-backed refractometer that measures urine specific gravity.
