The aim of this study is to examine the effects of fluid balance on performance in sports and health problems that may be caused by insufficient or excessive water consumption. It is an important fact that athletes can maintain their weight and maintain their performances optimally in sports branches organized with reference to a certain kilogram range such as kickboxing, boxing and wrestling. In such weight sports, the application of weight loss is observed quite frequently. In these cases, the decrease of the fat mass in athletes appears to be the first object. However, if there is still excess weight in athletes when the weighing day approaches, the first method used by the athletes is to lose weight with fluid loss. This fluid loss is carried out by methods such as long-term exercise, physical activity in hot environments, sauna, laxative drug use. However, as a result of these applications, serious levels of dehydration can be seen in the body. As a result of this dehydration, electrolyte and mineral losses are inevitable in athletes. Such losses can cause both physiological and psychological problems in athletes, such as muscle cramps or aggressive behavior. In such sports branches, since the competitions start on the day of the official weighing or at the latest one day after the official weighing, even if the athlete consumes enough liquid after the weighing, his or her physiological demands may not be fully met. At the same time, after official weighing, the athlete may consume excessive water in order to fulfill his or her water need, and in this case, hyponatremia may occur in the athlete's body due to the serum sodium level falling below optimal values. Such situations can also decrease the competition performance of the athlete and even cause serious health problems. For these reasons, the subjects of hydration, dehydration and hyponatremia should be known by athletes, and coaches and the necessary concern should be shown to fluid consumption.
