Analysis of the water loss caused by one single session of Indoor cycling, based on the reduction of the body mass
Abstract
The purposes of this research were to verify the water loss caused by one session of indoor cycling in agroup of men and women, and also seek for fluid replacement strategies which can be applicable to this kind of physical activity. This is a descriptive pre experimental research. The body mass of a group of men (n=10) and women (n=10), aged 20 to 50 years old, was measured before and after a session of cycling indoor. Descriptive calculations (average and standard deviation) were used for the statistical analysis. The body mass reduced 0.90 Kg (1.07%) and 0.58 (0.89%) for the masculine and feminine group, respectively. Previous studies show similar results. In order to re-equilibrate the hydric balance studies suggest drinking 400 mL to 800 mL of fluid before an indoor cycling session, and 870 mL to 1350 mL after the session. Although the rate of dehydration caused by a single session of indoor cycling would not be harmful to health, studies suggest following a fluid replacement strategy in order to prevent a continuous hypohydration state.
