Main, 687-228- , Huntington 8 A Parte Plus America's Family of Auto Parts Stores Drinking fluids while exercising or performing during athletic events is an important part of good performance. There are many theories on what one should drink and what temperature it should be when it is consumed. In less experienced athletes during exercise, andIn almost all athletes after exercise, fluid intake rarely balances sweat loss. The physiological explanation for voluntary dehydration involves the various drives peoples bodies have to begin and to stop drinking. Part of the drive to drink arises from the small loss of blood volume as a result of sweating and from an increase in the concentrations of sodium and other dissolved particles in bodys cells. Even though this drive to drink is present for several hours following exercise (until a meal is consumed), the early stages of drinking moisten the mouth, and this provides a signal to the brain to stop drinking before the bodys fluids have been completely on page The volume and frequency of drinking in humans is determined not only by the physiological signals in our bodies that tell our brains when its time to start or stop drinking, but also by the types of beverages that are conveniently available. Most sport scientists say that athletes rarely drink enough fluids during training sessions and competitions to totally offset sweat losses, even when they have unlimited access to beverages. The fact is that athletes can be trained to become better drinkers before, during, and after exercise. One of the ways to do this is to improve the flavor of a beverage. The taste can dramatically increase the consumption of fluids during exercise. Surprisingly, if cold palatable beverages are within arms length of experienced, exercising athletes, most do drink enough to offset sweat losses. However, if they have to move even a short distance to get a drink bottle, voluntary dehydration usually occurs. This suggests that a complex behavioral component is involved in determining fluid con- - AUTO SALES Domestic New computerized inventory ' system to help us help you efficiently and quickly.

Most athletes lose substantially more body fluids through sweat than they replace by drinking during exercise. poor access to beverages during exercise, poor quality of available beverages, and a lack of education about the need to drink during exercise. Age also has something to do with it.
