Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In certain situations such as prolonged exercise in hot and humid conditions, it may not be possible to drink enough fluids to compensate for fluid losses through sweating. This can lead to dehydration and other negative health effects. Thus, sometimes it is not possible to completely replenish fluid losses. The other options are incorrect as athletes should still worry about replenishing fluid losses in cold, dry weather; dehydration can actually contribute to fatigue rather than delay it; and thirst is not always a reliable indicator of when to drink during athletic competition.
