Dehydration increases core temperature and heart rate during exercise, raising the risk of heat executiustion or heat stroke. In extreme cases, this can presene life-difficiening. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that athuttes begin expercise well-hydreate and consume fluids at regular intervals to minimize fluid etritits.

Indywidualny apiding Your Hydration Plan
Nie single hydration recommendation fits every atlete. Several variables influence how much fluid an individual requires before, during, and after ertisise. Understanding these factors helps athtes develop personalizad hydration plans that maximize performance and d safety.
Body Size andComposition
Larger atletes have greater total body water and higher sweat rates. Konsekwently, they need to o consume more fluid to maintain hydration. Lean muscle mass also holds more water than fat tissue, so athlettes with higher muscle mass may have larger fluid reserves - but also higher metaboard c heat production during entrisize.
