Only a small number of athletes and experts knows that the water has a major role in sports. If the list of nutriment would be compiled on the biological sense, the water would be at the top of the list. Water is constantly lost through breathe out air, through the skin, through the urine and feces, the physiological body cooling, and sweating. Loss of body fluids during physical activity through sweating can range up to 5 liters, which is about 50 times higher than at respose, and with exhaled air is lost three times more water than in rest. All the lost water is compensated in that amount which is lost. This is the legality of the athletes, without which it is impossible to achieve superior results.
