Abstract: 

The purpose of this webinar is to pinpoint factors that have been identified in research as influencing hydration behaviors. Athletic trainers need to guide their patients from avoiding both sides of the clinical spectrum; hypohydration and hyperhydration. Yet a knowledge gap on how to influence hydration behaviors beyond typical education sessions may exist. The webinar will use research as a foundation to distinguish which variables external to the patient can both encourage proper hydration behaviors and discourage improper behaviors.
