The project aims to explore the formulation and physiological impact of electrolyte blends on hydration and athletic performance. The primary goal is to develop a science-backed model that calculates daily electrolyte needs based on individual activity profiles and environmental factors. This involves researching the role of various electrolytes in hydration, understanding their impact on athletic performance, and identifying optimal blends for different scenarios. Learners will apply their classroom knowledge of physiology, biochemistry, and data analysis to investigate how different electrolyte formulations affect hydration levels and performance metrics. The project will also consider environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, which can influence electrolyte requirements. By the end of the project, learners will have a comprehensive understanding of how to tailor electrolyte intake to individual needs, enhancing both hydration and performance.

The project deliverables include a detailed report outlining the research findings on electrolyte blends and their impact on hydration and performance. Additionally, learners will develop a model for calculating daily electrolyte needs based on individual activity and environmental factors. The deliverables will also include a presentation summarizing the key findings and recommendations for optimizing electrolyte intake. This project will culminate in a set of guidelines for developing personalized electrolyte strategies.
