Example
Moving along, don’t think that if you aren’t an endurance athlete you’re protected from these harmful effects of dehydration. That is not the case at all.
In addition to seeing declines in endurance, your physical strength will also flag.
When around 3% of total body weight in dehydration occurs, this can result in strength losses of up to 5%, showing a greater magnitude than the dehydration itself.
Therefore, this is going to be very problematic for those who are participating in power or weight lifting activities. This again is going to be due to decreased reduction in blood flow and blood pressure along with an increase in core temperature.
