skate tip of the week
Stay Hydrated!
As the outside temperatures increase, so does the sweat we produce. So make sure you’re staying hydrated, by drinking plenty of water before and after your skate sessions.
How dehydration affects your skating (from Johns Hopkins Medicine):
- Athletic performance. Water cushions the joints, and being dehydrated can affect your flexibility and speed.
- Endurance. Hydration is essential for proper muscle function (including the heart muscles), and it helps you avoid cramps.
- Breathing. When you inhale, you need body fluids to moisten the air so it’s easier to absorb oxygen through your lungs.
- Mood. Your brain needs water to work. Just as a drop in blood sugar can make a person “hangry,” dehydration can affect and concentration and cause headaches and irritability.
