One of the most important points, and one that must never be forgotten, is the hydration<\/strong>when practising mountain sports, and in general when practising any physical activity. Internal body temperature rises<\/strong> considerably when performing continuous, high-intensity physical activities. And when the body temperature rises, sweating becomes a quick and necessary solution that the body finds to cool itself down.<\/strong>. This represents a significant loss of water from our organism, and that is why when carrying out physical activities in the mountains, and in general, large quantities of water should be consumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiking trails or mountaineering activities, anywhere, usually last more than an hour, and as a direct result there is an increase in sweating, which can be quite noticeable and which can lead to changes in the blood, making it thicker and more viscous,<\/strong> which as a consequence leads to poor physical performance, or perhaps intense heat, kidney malfunction, etc.
This is why good hydration is fundamental, it is a rule that should never be broken; the body is made up of two thirds water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to consider these two aspects of hydration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1- Always hydrate beforehand:<\/strong> If you are about to start a physical activity in the mountains, don't forget not only to drink water during the activity, but also before you start. It is recommended to drink 2 to 3 litres of water daily a few days before starting any activity that requires a lot of energy. The body must be hydrated before starting a physical activity.<\/strong> demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2- Hydrate during the activity:<\/strong> While walking, exercising, and enjoying the mountain scenery it is essential to consume water, it is advisable to drink about 250 millimetres of water per 30 minutes of activity<\/strong> And don't wait until you are thirsty to drink water or fluids, because believe it or not you will be dehydrated by that point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
