Hydration behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes among Chinese recreational marathon runners: a cross-sectional study
These findings indicate that over half of recreational marathon runners are at risk of dehydration, highlighting that a lack of knowledge poses a dilemma for some runners who fall into a dehydrated state. This underscores the need for targeted education and awareness programs on scientific hydration knowledge and attitudes among recreational marathon runners to improve their health and athletic performance.
