The impact of hydration and mineral salts in muscle physiology and performance.

Muscles are very important organs for our body, both in quantity and in quality. Aproximately 40% of body mass corresponds to the skeletal muscle, and another 5% to soft and cardiac muscles.

It is a fundamental part in correct body functioning as skeletal muscles activate the movement of the body, and their performance is affected by the energetic needs of these muscles.

Dehydration and mineralt salts deficit affects the correct functioning of the muscles and increase fatigue levels, reducing performance. For instance, a 3% hydration deficit decreases muscle capacity by 15-20% and performance by 5-7%.
