Sports nutrition and hydration specialist, Precision Hydration, notes that 80% of the athletes that come to it for hydration advice have suffered with cramp at some point during training and racing in the past.
Sodium depletion is just one of a number of causes of cramp, but Precision Hydration (PH) also gets ‘emails from athletes who have solved their cramping issues using their stronger electrolyte drink mixes on a daily basis’. The company adds that it has plenty of anecdotal evidence to indicate that products such as the Precision Hydration 1500mg/l electrolyte drink are helping athletes avoid cramping up. To investigate further Precision Hydration is now looking for hard data.
Precision Hydration has built a survey to find out a bit more about cramping issues and how athletes are combating them. The company wants to understand how athletes of all shapes and sizes are combating cramp, so that it can do more to help people avoid race-ruining instances of cramp. As a thank you for answering its short survey, Precision Hydration will give a 15% discount off an individual’s first Precision Hydration order.
