Perform Your Best with MX3 Hydration Testing
Hydration is essential for athletic performance. Detrimental physical and cognitive effects begin to impact performance at as little as 1-2% body mass loss. These effects includes a reduction in muscular endurance and strength, increased fatigue and impaired decision making. With intense exercise the amount of water lost through sweat can easily exceed the rate at which fluid is absorbed by the intestines – so starting training or competition with a mild dehydration will accelerate the decline in performance, even when actively drinking.
Routine hydration assessment is vital for determining the fluid needs of athletes and identifying athletes at risk of dehydration. The MX3 Hydration Testing System allows you to rapidly screen your team before and after training to identify athletes in need of modified hydration strategies necessary to ensure optimal performance. Saliva osmolarity measurements with the MX3 HTS are immediate, actionable, and non-invasive, allowing you to assess and improve hydration anytime and anywhere. The MX3 App and Portal make it easy to track and analyze hydration data for teams and organizations of any size.
