Hydration also helps to regulate the athlete’s body temperature, especially during exercise. Another positive about hydration is that it helps transport nutrients around the body and keep the athlete healthy. As water is one of the most important nutrients there will be many signs and symptoms. During exercise an athlete’s body temperature will rise and as the athlete is sweating there will be fluid lost and not replaced therefore meaning a risk of dehydration and the athlete’s performance may suffer. ]]> 2017-05-12 14:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahfrost120899/jtgerfljqae3/wish/171500391 What is dehydration? hannahfrost120899 https://padlet.com/hannahfrost120899/jtgerfljqae3/wish/171500560 Dehydration is a condition caused by the loss of fluids that are not replaced.
