Not always, there are factors during exercise that blunt the thirst response and certain situations where programmed drinking is a better solution
No, Drinking too much water can lead to an imbalance of electrolytes which can put you at risk for a condition called hyponatremia, or a dilution of the sodium in the blood.
At rest, adult men should consume about 100 oz of fluid and women should consume about 75 oz.
Yes, Physical performance decrements typically begin around 2% body mass loss.
Cognitive impairments can start at about 1% body mass loss, especially executive processing (executive function, attention, memory).

Your body can only absorb a limited amount of protein at once. To gain muscle strength effectively, aim for 0.7-0.9 grams of protein per pound of body weight, spread across 6-7 servings throughout the day. For instance, a 200-pound athlete should consume 140-180 grams of protein daily, with around 20-25 grams per serving across six snacks/meals. Similarly, a 100-pound athlete should target 70-90 grams of protein daily, with about 10-12 grams per serving in six snacks/meals.
Not necessarily. While carbohydrates are the main fuel source for athletes during exercise, they aren't always necessary. Scientific consensus suggests that for exercise lasting less than 45 minutes, carbohydrates aren't needed. For durations up to 1 hour, only small amounts are necessary. For exercise lasting about 1 hour, aim to consume around 30 grams per hour. Once your exercise exceeds 2 hours, increase to about 60 grams per hour. For endurance activities lasting more than 2.5 to 3 hours, try to consume 90 grams per hour.
Current research suggests that non-caloric sweeteners are generally safe when consumed in moderation. And, full-calorie products, such as those containing natural sugars, while they provide muscular fuel, they can contribute to weight gain and other health issues if consumed in excess.

There are numerous healthy recovery strategies available, but among the most effective are optimizing your nutrition to replenish energy stores and repair muscles. Adequate sleep is also crucial; aiming for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night supports optimal recovery. Heat and cold therapy can further aid in reducing inflammation and muscle soreness. These are just a few of the many available.
Tracking heart rate variability (HRV) during training can provide valuable insights into your body’s readiness to handle stress. Lower HRV values often indicate higher stress levels, suggesting that adjusting training intensity or incorporating more recovery days might be beneficial. However, the science is not clear on whether monitoring HRV to optimize training schedules will improve overall performance.
