How long after exercise can you choose to drink water?

For sports enthusiasts, the issue of drinking water during exercise has always been a source of great concern. Many people are struggling with whether they can drink water before and after exercise. In fact, drinking water during exercise is very particular. Some people will feel very uncomfortable during exercise because they drink too much water or no water before exercise. Others drink a lot of water immediately after strenuous exercise, which will cause their stomachs to swell. The following editor will briefly introduce whether you can drink water after exercise for your reference.

Can I drink water before exercising?

Of course, drinking water before exercise is fine and it is very good for the body. Experts say that drinking about 500 ml of boiled water 2 hours before exercise can improve the body's ability to regulate heat, lower the heart rate during exercise, give the kidneys enough time to metabolize, adjust the fluid balance and osmotic pressure to the optimal state, and allow enough time for excess water to be excreted from the body.

Especially before running, hydration is crucial. Many people often ignore the replenishment of water before running, and there is even a wrong view that drinking water before running will cause stomach cramps. In fact, you should drink a small amount of water one hour before running. When you feel thirsty, your body has already lost about 3% of its body weight in sweat, so you should replenish fluids only when you feel thirsty. It takes 48 hours to replenish the amount of fluid lost.

How long after exercise can I drink water?

It is a consensus among people to drink water after exercise, but not everyone knows how long to drink water after exercise. Generally speaking, if the amount of exercise is not too much, you can replenish water immediately, or drink about 100 ml at a time after 5 minutes. Wait at least 10 minutes between each session. It is not advisable to replenish water immediately after strenuous exercise. You can only gargle or swallow no more than 50 ml of water. You should do resting exercises (such as slow walking after a long-distance run) to get the body out of the exercise state. When the carotid pulse rate recovers to below 120 beats/minute (you can press the carotid artery to measure it yourself), you can replenish water. It is still advisable to replenish 100 ml at a time, with at least 10 minutes between each two times.
