Description
Karol Skotniczny leads a 2026 randomized comparison of how sweat loss during exercise affects thigh muscle tissue by starting hydration level. Hard exercise drying the body by a few percent can dull performance, but resting tissue effects were unclear.
Thirty active men were split between guided drinking and normal habits, checked weekly by urine strength. All cycled at half power until losing about three percent of body weight. Ultrasound stiffness measures and twitch tests covered the front thigh muscle and nearby layers before and after. Only the deep wrapping layer softened after exercise, regardless of group. Twitch traits held steady.
