About the amount of water that is recommended after the training, there is still no consensus: some believe that the use of liquids should not be limited, while others argue that drinking after exercise is contraindicated.
Do I need to drink water after training?
Water is a member of any metabolic reactions that occur in our body, including the processes of burning excess fatty deposits. With a lack of water, there is a shortage of energy, so dehydration adversely affects the general condition of a person and his ability to exercise. To prevent this, you need to drink a certain amount of fluid before the training begins, during and after it.
When training moderate intensity, continuing 1-1,5 hours, it is recommended 15 minutes before the start to drink 1-1,5 glasses of clean water.
Many experts also advise drinking water during training, but why do it, they do not know everything. In the process of training, the metabolism takes place more actively, many chemical reactions take place, the important component of which is water. Do not forget that during physical activity a part of the moisture leaves the body, standing out with sweat and with frequent breathing. Therefore, during training, you need to drink 0.5 glasses of water every 20 minutes to make up for the loss and prevent dehydration.
Some people are interested in what time after the end of the workout you can drink. The liquid is allowed to be consumed immediately, and within 1 to 2 hours after the end of the session you should drink 1.5 to 3 glasses of water.
Why can not you drink after a workout?
The amount of fluid used must be seriously limited to competing bodybuilders. The lack of water in the body makes the body of athletes very embossed, so some use diuretics on the eve of the competition to maximize "dry out." Of course, maintaining a water deficit in the body is not just harmful, but even dangerous for life, but in this condition, athletes are only in the competition.
