Athletes’ pre-exercise fluid intake is linked to motivation and social factors. Understanding these psychological drivers can help improve hydration behaviors for better sports performance and health.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Health Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Pre-exercise fluid intake is crucial for athletes' performance and health.
  • Psychological factors influencing athletes' hydration adherence remain understudied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the psychological mechanisms underlying pre-exercise fluid intake in athletes.
  • To integrate Self-Determination Theory and Theory of Planned Behavior to understand this behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study with 179 college athletes.
  • Surveys assessed motivation, attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention at baseline.
  • Fluid intake behavior was measured prospectively at one month.

  • Autonomous motivation positively influenced intention, mediated by subjective norm and perceived behavioral control.
  • Controlled motivation positively predicted subjective norm.
  • Intentions were a significant predictor of pre-exercise fluid intake behavior.

Conclusions:

  • The integrated health psychology model effectively explains athletes' pre-exercise fluid intake.
  • Motivational and social cognitive factors are key determinants of athlete hydration.
  • Findings can inform strategies for coaches and sport scientists to enhance athlete hydration.
