Nutrients, 17(9), 1554. https://doi.org/10.3390/nu170915542072-6643http://hdl.handle.net/11268/14649Body composition and hydration status, particularly the balance between intracellular (ICW) and extracellular (ECW) water compartments, are critical factors influencing performance and aesthetics in competitive bodybuilding. Despite their significance, limited research has explored sex-based differences in hydration strategies and their impact on competitive outcomes. This study aimes to characterize and compare ICW and ECW distribution, as well as their relationship with key physiological parameters, between male and female elite bodybuilders during an international competition.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal article10.3390/nu17091554open accessDeporteCompetencia deportivaInvestigación médicaGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
