Drink Water for Strength, power and to Reduce Injury Risk

 

 

Drink water to contribute to strength and power production and reduce the risk for injury. Water should be the first thing and the last thing that enters your body each day. Most of us forget about this essential health component. I’d say water consumption maybe the most overlooked factor in fitness.

A 2008 study in the journal of strength and conditioning noted significantly different rates of fatigue and power in dehydrated athletes. They found that a 2.9% difference in hydration was enough to decrease anaerobic power.

The Cory Holley Institutes guidelines for proper hydration states that 1 once(oz) of water should be consumed per kilogram of lean tissue per day. So somebody weighing 150lbs(68.1kg) should consume not less than 68oz of water daily. This amount should increase if there is excessive sweating or effort.

Remember to carry water with you everywhere you go. Keep it in your purse, your gym bag or your car. Please try to ensure it is of the highest quality. Poor quality water can contain toxins that are bad for you.
