The field of research examining the link between dehydration and endurance performance
is at the dawn of a new era. This article reviews the latest findings describing the relationship …

Dehydration alters cardiovascular, thermoregulatory, central nervous system, and metabolic
functions. One or more of these alterations will degrade endurance exercise performance …

Numerous studies have confirmed that performance can be impaired when athletes are
dehydrated. Endurance athletes should drink beverages containing carbohydrate and …

Dehydration, if sufficiently severe, impairs both physical and mental performance, and
performance decrements are greater in hot environments and in long‐lasting exercise …

This review covers published literature on the influence of whole-body hydration status on
exercise performance. The majority of information in this area relates to endurance exercise …

The impact of alterations in hydration status on human physiology and performance
responses during exercise is one of the oldest research topics in sport and exercise …

Fluid replacement remains an important strategy for preserving exercise performance as
dehydration in excess of 2% of body weight consistently impairs aerobic exercise …

Hypohydration–if sufficiently severe–adversely affects athletic performance and poses a risk
to health. Strength and power events are generally less affected than endurance events, but …

Athletes are encouraged to begin exercise well hydrated and to consume sufficient amounts
of appropriate fluids during exercise to limit water and salt deficits. Available evidence …

During endurance exercise, two problems arise from disturbed fluid–electrolyte balance:
dehydration and overhydration. The former involves water and sodium losses in sweat and …
