Hello Mr. Jelínek,

I am intrigued by the theory of using 200ml of water every 15 minutes. Isn't that too little? Personally, when I observe myself and go for a cycling workout, I start drinking before I'm even out the door. For instance, in futsal, I change clothes, go to the hall, and keep sipping, I drink quite a lot and constantly. As I read in the lesson, the body processes it gradually anyway. Is it perhaps a matter of psychology or something similar, and should I try to "reduce" my intake?

Thank you very much for your advice (tip).

These values are based on measurements that are averaged. It always depends on whether you drink on an empty stomach or during a meal, the salt content of your diet, which binds water, plays a role, as do environmental temperature, gender, metabolism speed, etc. If you are active athletes, don't focus on specific values, but pay more attention to the subjective perception of your own needs, i.e., your feeling. Avoid the sudden intake of large amounts of fluids, which the body cannot absorb and activates the mechanisms of excretion, which is not advantageous in relation to the effort for effective training.
