Behavior Regarding Fluid Consumption Following Physical Activity In Indonesian Active Individuals

There is a lack of reliable information regarding post-exercise rehydration behaviours, particularly with regards to beverage preference and encouragement. Using a random sampling technique, 661 participants from three groups (sports enthusiasts, athletes, and coaches) were chosen randomly to fill out a questionnaire on fluid intake following exercise. Pearson Correlation is used to examine the data and find the connection between exercise modality, frequency, and duration. The study indicated that mineral water, electrolyte drinks, and milk were the three most frequently consumed options for rehydration following exercise. For sports enthusiasts, taste and accessibility are the most important factors in purchasing a beverage, followed by personal preference about the advantages of the beverage's contents. The major aspect for athletes and coaches, however, is knowledge of the components' favorable benefits. In contrast to the majority of participants in this survey, who had reasons to emphasize accessibility, the majority of sports enthusiasts choose mineral water as their preferred beverage. Whilst, athletes and coaches who are aware of the influence that beverages have on performance tend to place a higher priority on the content's performance-enhancing capabilities. Key words: Consumption behavior, Beverages, Physical Activity.
