Abstract

Dehydration is common among football players and is related to the reduction of sports performance. The objective of this study was to investigate the fluid losses induced by exercise and its association with fluid intake and performance in a field test, besides evaluating the knowledge about the hydration of the players. 20 male athletes from a professional football club in Fortaleza-CE participated in the study. The hydration status was evaluated from the percentage of weight loss on a training day, in which the water consumption of the athletes was recorded; And then applied the Yo-Yo Intermitent Recovery Test Level 1 (YYRT1). The prevalence of dehydration status was observed, with weight loss of 1.289 ±0.6193%. The mean water consumption was 1106.0 ±290.0 mL, and the mean distance covered in the YYR1 was 1040 ±394.2 meters. No significant correlation was found between the variables. The evaluation of the answers frequencies of the questionnaire showed a low level of knowledge in the subject approached. The findings in this study show the need to educate athletes about hydration as a way to avoid the reduction of performance and harm to the health of these individuals.
