Course adopters will have access to the image bank that includes many figures, photos, and tables from the book and audio-narrated PowerPoint slides that walk through key points and assessments in each chapter.
From the foundational components of body composition terms and concepts to applying the techniques in specific populations, readers will have access to a wealth of knowledge in the field from the experts.

This session explores the physiology of hydration through an integrated lens—examining how carbohydrate, sodium, flavor, and fluid interact to influence intake, absorption, retention, and performance. We’ll review current research on fluid balance, osmotic drivers, and palatability, highlighting mechanisms that underpin voluntary intake and thermoregulation. Attendees will gain insight into individualized strategies, including sweat profiling and timing approaches, to optimize euhydration and mitigate performance decrements associated with >2% body-mass loss. Practical applications will be linked to laboratory- and field-based research, ensuring translation from bench to field. This pre-conference equips you with evidence-based tools to support athlete hydration across diverse environments and sporting contexts.
