Page 66 Points of Emphasis 2001 FOOTBALL RULES POINTS OF EMPHASIS HEAT AND HYDRATION
Heat illnesses can be reduced or eliminated if a coach or athletic trainer follows some simple rules. First, there needs to be some protocol as to when water breaks are to be taken. Second, the decision to practice or start a contest should be based on the heat index, humidity and environmental temperature. Third, there should be a schedule based on individual fluid needs, including hydration breaks before, during, and after practices and games. Fourth, water is the best for rehydration; soft drinks and juice should be avoided, especially fruit juice with eight percent or greater carbohydrate (CHO) content. Finally, carbonated gels should also be avoided unless the athletic is competing in an ultra endurance event lasting two to three hours or longer.
One simple guideline to follow before exercise is to
drink 17-20 ounces of water or sports drinks
with less than eight percent CHO content,
two to three hours before exercise
.
During exercise, athletes should drink early and avoid high CHO drinks, which could cause dehydration and compromise performance. An athlete should
drink 7-10 ounces of water or low CHO sports drink every 10-20 minutes
. More importantly, to maintain hydration, an athlete should
drink beyond thirst and drink fluids/sports drinks based on the amount of sweat and urine loss
.
Athletes benefit in many situations from drinking sports drinks containing CHOs, if the exercise lasts more than 45-50 minutes, or if it is intense. Exercise requiring a great deal of explosive anaerobic endurance, similar to football, requires muscle glucose replacement. For optimal fluid replacement it is recommended the CHO sports drink of eight percent be consumed. During events which require high rates of fluid intake to sustain hydration, water sports drinks or less than seven percent CHO should be consumed to optimize fluid delivery and prevent dehydration. Fluids with salt (sodium chloride) are beneficial to increasing thirst and voluntary fluid intake as well as offsetting the amount of sweat loss; however, salt should never be added to drinks. For optimal absorption, cool beverages should be at temperatures to 50 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit.
Coaches should require all participants to record their weights both before and after practices. This procedure will allow the coach/athletic trainer to be aware of any significant weight loss and thereby adjust practices or counsel the athletes regarding the needed fluid intake before, during and following a practice.
After exercise, and within two hours
, athletes should drink enough fluid to replace weight loss from exercise. A general guideline is to
consume 20-24 ounces of sports drink
per pound of weight loss.
Athletes should be educated regarding the risks associated with dehydration and over hydration on health and physical performance. Coaches and ATCs need to work with individual athletes to develop fluid replacement strategies that optimize hydration status before, during and after exercise.
