Abstract
Introduction: The physical training of athletes requires a good state of hydration, because the maintenance of adequate levels of water can favor the performance. The objective of the study is to evaluate the hydration state of swimmers from the city of Aracaju after training sessions with different forms of hydric replacement. Materials and Methods: Eight swimmers (age 24,25±7,30 years-old) completed three controlled training sessions under different forms of hydric replacement: no flingestion (GC), water ingestion (GA), consumption of sports drinks (GS). Hydration state was determined by urinary coloration and percentage of body mass change. Results: Based on urinary coloration, GS has better classifi cation of hydration status than GC and GA. Signifi cant difference was found in relation to percentage of body mass change (p<0.05) between groups, with hydric replacement advantage for GS. Discussion: The water can promote an adequate hydration status, but sports drinks seem to offer a better hydric replacement.
