TIPS FOR HOT WEATHER SPORTS
Besides buying and using O.R.S. bags or the O.R.S. Scoop, what else can you do as an athlete to reduce the risk of dehydration?

Acclimatisation can take up to a week. Avoid the midday heat and exercise in the morning or evening. Are you training for a tour or race? Plan the training sessions at the time of the event so that your body can get used to the (weather) conditions. The most important tip: Make your own rehydration liquid with the O.R.S. Scoop and take consistent breaks from drinking to maintain healthy hydration. When you get thirsty, you have already lost too much fluid!
