Hydration habits before, during and after training and competition days among amateur basketball players.

Abstract

most amateur basketball players drink before, during and after exercise on both training and competition days, but not all of them complied with the hydration recommendations.

A Glimpse of the Sports Nutrition Awareness in Spanish Basketball Players

“…Despite that finding, we did not find significant differences when comparing their practices to U-18’s. This lack of theoretical knowledge could also be reflected in subsequent hydration behavior, as has been described in other studies [ 66 , 67 ]. It is difficult to establish a relationship that could explain these differences.…”

“…One factor that directly affects the onset of fatigue is dehydration [ 4 , 64 ], so it is essential to achieve a homeostatic balance between fluid losses and exogenous fluid replacement [ 64 , 65 ]. Hydration plays a vital role in reducing explosive performance during basketball competition [ 66 ] and should be a key focus on recovery strategies. On the other hand, very high or sustained losses over time, in addition to negatively affecting athletic performance, can put health at serious risk.…”

Practical Application and Methodological Considerations on the Basics of Sports Nutrition in Basketball: A Comprehensive Systematic Review of Observational and Interventional Studies

“…Eskici and Ersoy [19] noted that pre-training meals in female Turkey wheelchair BP included water (77.3% athletes) and fruits (54.5%), in-training meals consisted of water (90.9%) and candy or chocolate (27.3%), and post-training meals consisted of water (95.5%) and fruits (40.9%). In the study by del Mar Bibiloni [81], overall hydration habits of amateur Spanish male and female BP were rated as 'good' in 54.6, 74.2, and 76.5% of athletes before, during, and after training, respectively. However, as many as 20.8 and 17.5% of BP reported not consuming fluids before training and competitions, and it was more pronounced in females (27.6 and 25.3%) compared to males (14.6 and 10.4%), while lack of proper hydration during training was more prevalent in males (9.4%) compared to females (1.2%).…”

“…Regarding the area of eating behaviours and NK, three different tools for RoB evaluation were used depending on the type of the study; they were (1) 'JBI checklist for prevalence studies' [75] for cross-sectional observations [19,20,28,29,32,38,39,[78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90]; (2) 'Quality assessment tool for before-after (pre-post) studies with no control group' [74] for single-arm IS [22,37,91]; and (3) Cochrane RoB 2 [73] for interventional randomized cross-over studies [92]. Regarding cross-sectional observations and questions related to the study sample: (1) addressing the target population, (2) selection process, and (3) sample size, as many as 20 [29,79,83,90], 15 [29,39,79] and 35% [29,39,79,83,87,88,90] of included studies were evaluated negatively, and the next 15 [39,87,88], 15 [78,…”

“…In 40% [29,39,83,89,90] of studies, the descriptions of study settings and subjects were insufficient, and in the next 5% [32] they were 'unclear'. One study used an invalid method for identification of the outcomes [77], and in 40% of them the validity of methods was 'unclear' [39,[79][80][81]85,[87][88][89]. Standardization of measuring outcomes was 'unclear' in 25% of studies [32,39,85,88,89], and the appropriacy of statistical analysis was recognized as 'unclear' in 10% of them [39,86].…”
