Hydration for Athletes

What you drink — and when — changes everything.

Hydration Breaks Are Now Official

On the field

At FIFA World Cup 2026, scheduled hydration breaks were built into matches — a sign of how seriously elite sport now treats fluid intake.

Too Much Water Can Be Dangerous

The risk

Exercise-associated hyponatremia — low sodium from over-drinking — is a real risk. The modern hydration craze may be pushing some athletes too far.

Water + Electrolytes: Both Matter

Balance

Women Athletes Hydrate Differently

Gender difference

Female runners may respond differently to heat, sweat, and fluid replacement than men — making personalized hydration essential.

Electrolytes Without the Bottle

Innovation

SaltStick launched Electrolyte Gummies in July 2026 — letting athletes replenish on the go without carrying water.
