For those who played football at a high level, question

I have no experience with this so I just legitimately don’t know.
How much of an effect could not taking IVs at half make? Is it just the cramping? Do they give you more energy? Help you not get tired so easily?
I just want to get a grasp of the scope of effect not talk g IVs at half could cause.
TIA

If you are dehydrated, then not taking one will cause you to become tired and cramped.

Starting to cramp is what will make being on the field very difficult.

They rehydrate you. Have you never gotten sick and got a fluid IV bag?
(I didn't play football at a high level, for the record. Not sure why that's a requirement to answer your questions though).

Actually no. I just usually drink so much water I never feel dehydrated playing. I’ve had one time where I got dizzy and had to come off the field and lay down, but I’ve never gotten an IV

Cramping comes from hyponatremia (low sodium in the bloodstream). Sodium plays a role in muscle function/contraction. By the time cramping sets in, it’s too late for oral replacement. Much of the problem is preventative. Has to be done in the hours leading up to the exercise. An old school tried and true prophylaxis is pickle juice. Replacing solely with water only exacerbates the low sodium by further diluting the already depleted sodium in the blood. You’re turning brackish water into fresh water. The IV’s with sodium should remedy the problem.

I kind of assumed that quick fix IVs at half time would serve a different recovery purpose than IVs for sickness. Sorry if that was a poor assumption. :cheers;

We obviously did not hydrate correctly for 3 days before the game and something was missed during the pre-game prep.
If it was offered and the athletes turned it down they learned a lesson

It is like getting hydrated at the cellular level extremely fast. It skips your gut, small and large intestine. Hydrating the body at a different level. Basically it is super hydration and if it's matched with the right minerals it can keep the players from cramping. If you want to be super human just push in more blood with the fluids ?? but that's what got cyclists busted.

Instant hydration but cramps can linger

I'm not a medical expert, and some IV bags may include medication in some IVs. I'm not sure.
I've gone to the doctor when I was throwing up before and they gave me an IV bag while I was there. That serves the same purpose.

It takes longer than 3 days drinking normal fluids for the conditions they played in Saturday night with football gear, plus practice days. Look at the time/plays the D was on the field. shite, next time give them IV's on the flight to the game location.

what most people don’t realize, is that by the time you actually feel the symptoms, it’s waaaaay too late. and really ONLY an IV will catch you up.
so at half, if they don’t “feel” it, doesn’t mean they aren’t close to dehydration.

conditions are not an excuse for a team like LSU.
it’s been hot as frick here too, so we should be as prepared for it as anyone else on the planet.

When I played believe it or not coaches had us drink pickle juice day before and morning of game. I didn’t play football though was basketball. Never cramped up to the point of having to leave game. Actually don’t recall seeing any other teammate cramping. .

Thank you! This is not just about drinking water. In fact just drinking water can cause you to cramp faster. Thus it’s not just about “hydrating”. Powerade should just be called sugar and is not what athletes should be drinking. It makes cramping worse because it’s not doing anything close to what it should be doing.
Clear pee is not good. It means that you’ve drank so much water that you’ve pissed out all the nutrients and minerals.
They should be drinking a very specific mix. Powerade is absolute trash.

Old school pickle juice or salt tablets. No way you can stay hydrated enough in those conditions drinking water. ZERO alcohol in the week leading up to a game in those conditions. If you’re not super hydrated with sodium and minerals in your system you’re already in a bind. If you’ve had any alcohol during the week, you’re asking for a shite ton of problems. Pickle juice, salt tablets and an IV are your only choices if you haven’t done all you can during the week to stay hydrated.

Orgeron needs to post a piss chart just like Herman did in his locker room. We had wayyyy to many players cramping up.

yeah, but not as a player.
or at least not this type of turf. I played on the old green carpet at the dome once.

Yeah. The “zero” versions of sports drinks are better. You’re getting the necessary electrolyte replenishment and avoiding the unnecessary sugar.
