Dehydration: A Menace to Effective Training

Dehydration is usually much more common and much less dramatic. A better example of dehydration is you…when you woke up this morning. Dehydration is defined as losing as little as 1-2% of body weight via water loss. It can be caused by excessive sweating, not drinking water for a few hours (e.g. sleeping), blood loss, drinking alcohol or caffeinated drinks, vomiting, and diarrhea.

While minor cases of dehydration don’t require hospitalization, a small amount of dehydration can have negative effects. Research shows that losing just 2.5% of body weight via water loss can lead to poor training performance and have dangerous health implications.
