        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "In the lead-up to a big event, your body is in a state of preparation that goes beyond glycogen loading and sleep. Fluid balance is being regulated at a cellular level, and the electrolytes that govern that balance, primarily sodium, but also potassium, magnesium, and chloride, determine how effectively water is absorbed and retained in the tissues that need it."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Start the morning with a sodium-containing drink rather than plain water. This primes the absorption process and helps the body begin retaining fluid rather than excreting it."

        "text": "Treat fuelling as part of your preparation, not an afterthought. The science only helps when it is applied consistently: plan around your training and competition, fuel before you feel you need to, and review what works for you over time. Science in Sport products are designed to make evidence-based fuelling simple to get right, so you arrive prepared and perform with confidence."
