Question

An individual weighted 150 pounds before and 144 pounds after a 2-hour training session. 1. First, calculate their percent (percent) dehydration. 2. Next, calculate the amount of fluid they would need to consume during exercise to limit their fluid losses (in body weight change) to no more than 2%. Answer options are formatted as% dehydrated, ounces of fluid needed to limit fluid loss to no more than 2% (for example, "5% dehydrated, add 16 ounces of fluid") 4% dehydrated, add to practice 48 ounces of fluid 4% dehydrated, add to practice 24 ounces of fluid 3.3% dehydrated, add to practice ounces of fluid No answer text provided.

Explanation / Answer

Answer is

4% dehydrated, add to practice 48 ounces of fluid

First, calculate their percent dehydration

Percentage dehydration (%) = Previous weight (kg) - Current weight (kg) / Previous weight (kg) x100= 150kg-144kg/150kgx100=4

Approximately a person will lose 34 ounces of fluid per hour of exercise, based on this we can say he needs to consume 48 ounces of fluid exercise to limit their fluid losses to no more than 2%
