Did you know that the most popular weight loss strategies across jockey globally were those that would result in dehydration?🤯😱 Many jockeys use dehydration as a strategy to meet weight requirements before races. By deliberately reducing their fluid intake or using methods like saunas or diuretics, they can temporarily shed water weight, enabling them to meet strict weight limits set for races. However, this practice can have serious consequences that can lead to a range of health issues, including decreased cognitive function, impaired physical performance, and increased risk of heat-related illnesses such as heat stroke. These effects can negatively impact a jockey's ability to perform optimally during races, putting both themselves and their horses at risk. Quickly and accurately assess your hydration status using the MX3 System! Be safe and perform at your best! https://lnkd.in/eC2yT4zq Read more about the weight-making practices among jockeys and associated risks in the journal article below: https://lnkd.in/ejAHttHq #mx3 #sports #jockey #jockeyclub #horses #horseracing #horseraces #caballos #racing #equine #equestrian #nature #horseshow #gallop #riders #mane #horserace #photooftheday
