Abstract

The study's primary concern is to understand the level of awareness, perspectives, and practices on fluid hydration among student-athletes in Pasig city in relation to their outcome of competition. Looking to the athletes’ awareness, perspectives, and practices about hydration would help coaches and trainers identify areas to be given importance in their training program, so that, their athletes will be able to achieve a high level of performance during competition. A survey encompassing questions about demographics, sports performance and awareness, perspectives, and practices pertaining to proper hydration was given to the athletes during team practices and meetings. A total of 184 student-athletes participated in the study. The majority of the athletes’ respondents are male and currently, in grade 12, most of them were sports achievers, 64 or 34.8% were gold medalists, 39 or 21.2% were silver medalists, and 36 or 19.6% were bronze medalists. There was a positive correlation between the outcome of competition and the stage of awareness r(182)=.182, p=.014, there was a positive correlation between the outcome of competition and the stage of perspectives r(182)=.276, p=.001 and the relationships between the outcome of competition and level of practices also positive correlated r(182)=.23, p=.002.
