Many people continue to participate in outdoor activities when seasonal changes occur. While it is very important to remain physically active throughout the year, it is equally important to prevent the risk for environmental-related injury. This downloadable guide contains advice for avoiding these injuries and conditions.
Do you really need to get 10,000 steps a day to promote and maintain health? In the video below, Colin
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.
