- Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the knowledge and hydration habits of recreational road runners of 5 and 10 km in Rio de Janeiro city. This was a survey-type descriptive crosssectional study. The sample consisted of 28 individuals, 18 men (age: 38.06 ± 13.39 years) and 10 women (age: 34.00 ± 6.55 years), road runners in Rio de Janeiro city, with minimum training frequency of three times a week. The data were collected through an adapted questionnaire, with questions about training characteristics, hydration habits and the importance of hydration. The questionnaire responses showed that 35.7% of the study participants have the habit of running for over two years, however, 53.6% of the participants did not seek guidance on the best way to hydrate. Most (61.5%) of those who received information about hydration resorted to a Physical Education teacher, although 64.3% of the sample run without the guidance of this professional and 10.7% are still unaware of some importance of hydration. Hydration of individuals occurs predominantly after the training (87%) and competitions (86.7%) with moderately cold liquids (57.1%), with isotonic (39.3%) and with water (100%). However, 39.3% of respondents are concerned about the hydration only in the summer. We conclude that runners surveyed hydrate with a certain frequency after the activities, but do not understand the importance of this action. Physical Education teacher is the most sought professional for information about hydration.
