Drink or no drink?

I am not sure that training high will ever be back to answer that one.

After that last answer I think "training high" is even less likely to be a real person than <insert name to taste>

I will not respond more absurd post. From autoreply anything, I'm Ph.D in exercise physiology with several scientific publications of relevance. Maybe your academic level is not enough to understand what is proposed in the post. Hydration clearly responds to certain physiological variables including the possibility of absorption of fluid and toleration and hyponatremia is unclear as to avoid ingesting sodium amount.

From what I have seen so far Traininghigh has not tried to sell anything or spam CycleChat, however it does appear as though English is not his first language so perhaps do your best to understand him and if you're not sure, ask for clarification.

I'm 100% certain my writing on a Spanish forum wouldn't be as good as Traininghigh's English is here.

Now that opens up a can of worms. Stepping away to a safe distance and ducking for cover

Even with things that might seem like "common sense" fundamental scientific research is required to explore the truth behind ingrained historical "wisdom" and also to further increase the nuance of understanding. This especially true in endeavours like sports where certain practises remain from before scientific inquiry was applied, some may be correct practise but could be further improved in different circumstances and some may be flat out wrong.

Thanks. Exactly I'm not English and may well not express my ideas. Evidently assumed that all things must be proven and that is the purpose of this post. Hydration and hydration is an issue taken up by the large existing advertising about it. but. You see many marathon runners drinking every 15 minutes? O professional cyclists drinking 6 liters of liquid in one stage? Obviously not. And the risk is much higher when it comes to amateur athletes that these recommendations are based on daily investing money in substance is shown to improve performance and health.

I think a re-evaluation of commonly followed hydration practises amongst athletes amatuer and professional. Perhaps bad or even dangerous practises are promoted by companies selling hydration products.

If that's part of the OP's motivation then I apologise for attempting to belittle his post.

It's just that I get a trifle irked on occasions with people who are so far up their own ar**s, they're unable or unwilling to see what's blindingly obvious to the rest of us.

However, I have to admit that sometimes what appears blindingly obvious isn't necessarily correct, and that's where the OP has a valid contribution to make.

Academics writing in a foreign language often lack the ability to write non academically in that language.

I am an athlete like you, train and sweat every day to improve. My professional work does not mean that I do not understand the unscientific athletes. I just wanted to open a debate over we are not 100% follow the recommendations that we sell with economic interests. For example, hypoxia yes or no? the answer is that it depends on the individual response of each person to the conditions of lower oxygen uptake. Also in this case it is obvious to think that hydration should not follow such strict guidelines but each must individually assess their response and tolerance to environmental conditions. The sensation of thirst itself is already an alarm but if we drink too much too used to the body fluid to demand for it in terms of heat and moisture not the recommended amount could be between 400 and 800 ml per hour at most.

There is a thread which is currently two above this entitled "Average liquid intake" which is covering very similar ground to this one. The summary seems to be if you look at the colour of your urine (in an appropriate situation) compared to normal (or Lucozade - see post) you can tell whether you are under or over hydrated.

I tend to the underhydrated as I'm old and unfit and sweat a lot so need to remember to drink more than I expect.

 

[Traininghigh]

It's correct (Creakykness) but the urine colour is not the most appropiate measure of dehydratation because this depend also of other factors as endocrine regulation via antidiuretic hormone... In addition, the age and the fitness condition determine the sweat range (quantity and composition).

 

[smutchin]

human physiology is largely predisposed to drink great quantities of liquid.

Especially on a Friday evening after a long, hard week at work.

And, what is the risks for the health?

Cycling home after the above is perhaps not best practice, healthwise.
