Fluid Intake and Hydration Strategies

These flashcards cover key concepts related to fluid intake, hydration strategies, and the physiological responses during running as discussed in the lecture.

Fluid Ounces per Mile

The amount of fluid in ounces recommended to consume per mile run, varies with body weight and temperature.

Dehydration

A condition resulting from excessive loss of body fluid, which can impair performance.

Hyponatremia

A condition caused by overdrinking relative to sweating rate, leading to dangerously low sodium levels in the blood.

Sweat Rate

The amount of sweat produced during physical activity, typically measured in pounds or milliliters per hour.

Beverage Hydration Index (BHI)

A measure that indicates the hydration effectiveness of different beverages compared to still water.

Body Weight Loss during Marathon

Percentage of body weight predicted to be lost due to dehydration at the end of a marathon, varying by individual fluid intake.

Fluid Intake during Running

The recommended amount of fluid intake based on running speed, body weight, and duration of exercise.

Predicted Weight Loss

The expected weight loss during an event based on fluid consumption and sweat rate.
