HYDRATION
Summer-time Rowing
As the heat and humidity here in Texas start to turn up it is really important that everyone remembers to stay hydrated,
this is for rowers and coaches as well.
As a rower, you should drink 3 - 5 oz of fluid every 10- 15 minutes. This is the rate of absorption, if you drink more
than this you are likely to get that jelly belly feeling of water sloshing around in your stomach, and this does not help
your workout.
Dehydration can contribute to injuries, poor tech performance, poor physical performance, and at the extreme Heat Stroke
and Heat Exhaustion.
In some studies have shown that being dehydrated by 1 liter can decrease performance by 50%.
