exercise-induced dehydration

Exercise-induced dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluids through sweating than it takes in during physical activity. This imbalance reduces blood volume, making the heart work harder to deliver oxygen and nutrients. Symptoms can include feeling thirsty, dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness, and decreased performance. It’s important to stay hydrated by drinking fluids before, during, and after exercise, especially in hot or intense conditions. Proper hydration helps maintain energy levels, regulate body temperature, and support overall health during physical activity.
