Summary

Hydration Science explores the critical yet often misunderstood area of hydration for athletes, emphasizing the importance of fluid and electrolyte balance for peak performance. This book reveals that even mild dehydration can significantly impair physical and cognitive functions, impacting an athlete's ability to perform their best. Individualized hydration strategies are key, as generic advice can be ineffective or even harmful, potentially leading to issues like hyponatremia.

 
The book begins with the basic physiology of electrolytes like sodium and their role in fluid balance and muscle function. It then examines how dehydration impacts athletic performance. Uniquely, Hydration Science integrates the latest research with practical advice, empowering athletes and coaches to develop personalized plans based on scientific principles.

 
Readers will discover how to assess their hydration status, calculate fluid needs based on sweat rate, and optimize electrolyte intake for diverse sports and conditions. The book progresses by dissecting the timing of fluid consumption, pre-, during, and post-exercise, to maximize absorption and minimize gastrointestinal distress.

 
By offering actionable strategies and addressing common misconceptions, Hydration Science provides essential knowledge for optimizing athletic performance through tailored hydration practices.

    Foreword by Henrietta Knight.
    From King Henry VIII to Queen Elizabeth II, via the introduction of the Classics, a duel at Ascot, the first steeplechase, a Derby Day fraud, a huge Cambridgeshire gamble, the desolation of Fred Archer, a thousand-mile walk around Newmarket Heath, the greatness of Ormonde and Sceptre, Man o' War's record-breaking runs, National Velvet and Emily Davison, to the brilliance of Lester Piggott, Tony McCoy and Frankel, Peter May has selected over one hundred days that encapsulate five hundred years of the Sport of Kings.   
    His short, informative, easy-to-read essays bring to life racing's milestone events that set the nation on a different path, such as the 1913 Derby, and the sacrifices horseracing made to support the British military campaigns overseas.    A host of anecdotes tell of the exploits of the racing fraternity and cast light on the psyche of those who were prepared to take on bets which, at today's rates, would stretch into millions.    Sure to rekindle fond, and maybe distant, memories of the races and horses that once dominated the sporting section of the daily newspapers.
