Hydration Tips for Athletes

 

 

Hydrate Before the Game

Young athletes often engage in sports without ever properly hydrating prior to play. According to CoachYouthSports.com, your child should drink two glasses of fluids in the morning, one to two glasses an hour prior to the event, and then an additional glass 20 minutes before the sporting event begins. Avoid giving your child carbonated beverages because these drinks can cause bloating that can restrict the amount of fluids she will be able to take in.

 

 

Drink Every 10 to 15 Minutes

Your child should drink every 10 to 15 minutes while exercising. If the weather is particularly hot, it is a good idea to give your child a drink with electrolytes, such as Powerade, Gatorade or water enriched with electrolytes such as Smart Water. Because sweating releases more than just water, electrolytes help to restore proper body sodium levels.

 

 

Rehydrate Following Activity

If your child's urine is dark in color, this can signal that he has not consumed enough fluids. Continue to have your child drink fluids in increments of 8 to 16 oz. at a time until his urine appears more normal in color. Other signs your child may be dehydrated include cramping, abnormal fatigue, difficulty in coordination or a headache. CoachYouthSports.com recommends to weigh your child before engaging in sports and afterward. Calculate the difference between the two weights, and have your child drink 24 oz. of water for each pound of fluid lost.
