Discuss the recommendations for fluid balance and exercise


Drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after exercise.
Before exercise, consume 1.5–2.5 cups of cold water, 10 to 20 minutes in advance. Encourage clients to drink before they become thirsty or they will most likely already be dehydrated (and thus at risk for heat injury).
During physical activity in the heat, have clients attempt to match fluid loss with fluid intake.
After exercise, have clients continue drinking water, even if they do not feel thirsty. It may take up to 12 hours to achieve complete fluid replacement after strenuous exercise in the heat. For most situations, water works as well as any beverage in preventing dehydration for activities lasting about 30 minutes. For exercise periods lasting longer than 30 to 60 minutes, you can also choose one of the many sports drinks on the market.
