Hydration for tennis
In tennis, hydration is important because you lose fluids through sweating during rallies, games, and sets. Drink regularly before the match, use changeovers to drink, and replenish your fluids afterward.
In short
Key takeaways
- Tennis requires explosive movements and mental focus.
- Long sets can cause significant fluid loss.
- Changeovers are natural opportunities to drink.
- Warm weather increases the need for hydration.
- Recovery begins immediately after the match or training session.
