Answer to Question 1

The ACSM and the NATA guidelines call for athletes to consume approximately 0.7 to 1.07 ounces of fluid per 10 pounds of body weight 4 hours prior to exercise. For an athlete weighing 200 pounds, the calculation is as follows:
First, divide 200 pounds (the athlete's total weight) by 10 pounds (the unit of weight used to calculate fluid ounces): 200/10 = 20.
Next, multiply 0.7 ounces X 20 units (of 10 pounds each) = 14 ounces
Finally, multiply 1.07 ounces X 20 units (of 10 pounds each) = 21.4 ounces.
An athlete weighing 200 pounds should drink 14 to 21.4 ounces of fluid 4 hours before training.
