After one of the hottest April’s on record, it looks like summer has arrived early this year.
Runners, cyclists and triathletes have been keen to take advantage of the sunny conditions by stepping up their training after the frustration of another freezing winter.
Most athletes are aware of the importance of staying hydrated but it becomes even more important when training and racing in hot weather.
Shotz Electrolyte Tablets are the ultimate hydration solution for athletes, providing essential minerals that can help boost performance and make sure that they can avoid becoming dehydrated.
Training in hot and humid conditions will lead to an increase in the amount of sweat produced by the body.
Sweating causes the body to lose fluid as well as important minerals including sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium. These minerals, or electrolytes, perform a number of important functions in the body.
Failing to replace fluid and minerals lost through sweat will have a detrimental effect on an athlete’s performance and ultimately lead to dehydration.
Drinking water will help replace lost fluid but it doesn’t provide those essential electrolytes. Shotz Electrolyte Tablets do both and those added minerals help transport fluid around the body which minimises the risk of cramp occurring.
Shotz Electrolyte Tablets are available in two delicious sugar-free flavours and each tablet dissolves quickly in water to create a tasty, refreshing drink. They are supplied in a tough, portable tube that is ideal for popping in your rucksack, saddle bag or waist pack.
Shotz Electrolyte Tablets provide the right level of hydration and electrolyte replacement to help athletes perform at their peak for longer.
