Staying hydrated is very important for athletic performance so it is important to drink fluids on a regular basis ? before, during and after exercise. Drink on a schedule not just when you?re thirsty because by the time you?re thirsty, you?re already dehydrated.

  • Before exercise ? Hydration should begin at least two hours before exercise with 17 to 20 oz. of water or sports drink, followed by 7 to 10 oz. 10 to 20 minutes before exercise.
  • During exercise ? Consume 7 to 10 oz. of water or sports drink every 15 to 20 minutes.
  • After exercise ? Approximately 20 to 24 oz. of water or sports drink should be consumed per pound of body weight lost during the course, until two hours after exercise has finished.
