Maximize Power & Prevent Cramps
This guide provides cyclists with a comprehensive understanding of electrolytes and their importance for performance. It details the specific electrolytes lost through sweat (up to 1,200mg of sodium per hour) and how to replenish them effectively. It offers tailored advice on choosing the right electrolyte supplements to maximize power output and prevent debilitating muscle cramps, especially during longer rides in hot weather.
Personalized Plan for Peak Performance
This how-to article will guide cyclists in creating a personalized cycling hydration plan tailored to their individual needs, sweat rate, and the demands of different cycling disciplines. It covers the importance of pre-, during, and post-ride hydration, emphasizing that cyclists can lose 0.2 to 1.2 liters of sweat per hour. It also addresses the risks of both dehydration and overhydration (exercise-associated hyponatremia), providing actionable steps to optimize fluid intake.
