| | In the Spotlight: | |  | | | Make sense of the hydration hype with new release
An overhydrated athlete is at a performance disadvantage and at risk of exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH)--a potentially fatal condition. In Waterlogged, Tim Noakes, medical doctor, exercise physiologist, and internationally recognized expert on human performance, sets the record straight, exposing the myths surrounding dehydration and presenting up-to-date hydration guidelines for endurance sport and prolonged training activities. Noakes takes you inside the science of athlete hydration for a fascinating look at the human body’s need for water and how it uses the liquids it ingests.
