What type of hydration is suggested during exercise every 10 to 20 minutes?

  1. 100-150 ML

  2. 200-300 ML

  3. 500-600 ML

  4. 400-500 ML

The correct answer is: 200-300 ML

During exercise, it is recommended to hydrate in smaller increments to help maintain optimal hydration levels while not overwhelming the body's gastrointestinal system. Hydrating with approximately 200 to 300 milliliters every 10 to 20 minutes allows for effective absorption and helps to replace fluids lost through sweat. This amount is often cited in hydration guidelines as a balance between providing enough fluid to meet hydration needs and ensuring that the individual does not experience discomfort or gastrointestinal distress. Hydration practices vary based on factors such as exercise intensity, duration, and environmental conditions, but the suggested range of 200 to 300 milliliters fits well within general recommendations for moderate to intense physical activity. In contrast, smaller or larger increments may not sufficiently address hydration needs. Smaller volumes may not replace lost fluids adequately, while higher volumes might lead to discomfort during performance. This makes the suggested range of 200 to 300 milliliters an effective compromise for maintaining hydration during exercise.
