Signs of Dehydration During Exercise
Staying hydrated is essential for optimal performance during exercise. Dehydration can lead to serious health issues, so it’s important to recognise the signs early.
Common Signs of Dehydration
During exercise, look out for the following signs of dehydration:
- Thirst: A strong feeling of thirst is often the first sign that your body needs more fluids.
- Dark Urine: Dark yellow or amber-coloured urine can indicate dehydration.
- Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired or fatigued can be a sign that you are not adequately hydrated.
- Dizziness: Light-headedness or dizziness during exercise can signal dehydration.

- Drink water before, during, and after your workout.
