T-Ball a Big Hit at KA

General Health District. Funding for the

8-week class was provided through a

grant from the CDC Chronic Disease

and Health Promotion Program and the

Ohio Department of Health Arthritis Pro-

gram.

Classes continue through June 21st.

A Water for the Wise Drink lots of water. That’s what they

always say. But how much do you need

and how does exercise factor into your

need for fluid? Well, I’ve got your an-

swers.

Two to three liters of fluid will fulfill the

average adult’s daily requirements

(AFAA and Kleiner 1997; 2007). You

may need to increase your intake due

to exercise especially if it is intense

activity, during warmer conditions, or if

you sweat more than average. Here

are a few recommendations concern-

ing exercise and hydration. Remem-

ber that everyone is different and basic

guidelines such as these are not meant

to be exact. You will know you have

met your body’s need for fluid by

checking your urine regularly. It

should be relatively odorless and clear

or pale yellow (Kleiner 2007).

BEFORE EXERCISE

Consuming 16 ounces of fluid two to

three hours prior to your workout fol-

lowed by an additional 8 ounces 10 to

20 minutes before is good preparation

for exercise (Kleiner 2007). No one

performs well dehydrated and it is esti-

mated that performance levels can

drop roughly 40% or more under these

conditions (Kleiner 2007).

DURING EXERCISE

It is recommended that you consume 3

to 8 ounces of extra fluid every fifteen

minutes of exercise (Brooks 2004). En-

durance athletes or fitness enthusiasts

who exercise for longer than an hour

may consider a sports drink to replace

glycogen and minerals lost during their

workouts. Sports beverages contain

calories in the form of sugars that are

meant to give you energy to perform

well when exercising for long periods of

time. Beware of these calories espe-

cially if weight loss is one of your goals.

If you are trying to lose weight you may

want to stick to consuming these drinks

during exercise and choose or dilute

one with water so that it contains roughly

40 to 80 calories per 8 ounces of liquid

(Brooks and Runner’s World 2004).

AFTER EXERCISE

Weighing yourself after your workout

can help indicate if you are consuming

adequate fluid during your workout.

Hop on the scale before and after your

workout. For every pound of weight lost

it is suggested that you consume an ad-

ditional 2 to 3 cups of fluid after your

workout and continue to hydrate for the

next four hours comfortably (Kleiner

2007).

SOME SIGNS OF DEHYDRATION

(Kleiner 2007)

Fatigue

Headache

Light-headedness

Dry mouth

Difficulty swallowing

Painful urination

Participants also need not be a mem-

ber of Kids America to participate.

For more information, contact Becky

Beiter at the Coshocton County Health

Department at 740.295.7307 or visit

“Play ball,” shouts the umpire! And

play they did.

Shorties Spring T-Ball, played indoors

success.

activity, designed for kids ages 3 to 6.

Games continue through May 10th.

Registrations are currently being ac-

cepted for the summer session of Shor-

ties T-Ball. Games begin July 28th at

KA.
