Different Waters for Different Performances: Can We Imagine Sport-Related Natural Mineral Spring Waters?

Preserving the hydration status means to balance daily fluids and salt losses with gains, where depend on several physiological environmental factors. Especially for athletes, these could be relevant negatively influence performance: therefore, their hydro-saline must preserved personalized pre- rehydration plans all along performance period. Scientific literature in this field is mainly dedicated artificial sport drinks. Different territories most world areas are rich drinking natural mineral spring waters saline compositions that reflect geological origin used human health (often under medical prescription). However, scarce scientific attention has been use of athletes. We therefore reviewed existing from innovative viewpoint matching water different athletic performances requirements.
